Cerulean Warbler--Brunswick

[Delia Guzman]

Hello all,

I had the pleasure (not to mention the surprise) of hearing a CEWA in my yard (we have woods behind and around us, despite living right in town) this morning. I couldn't get a photo, as I was already late for work, but I paused long enough to record the song. It's loaded on my eBird checklist here: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45894681

This is the first time I've heard this bird in the woods or my yard; I regularly have BT Green, Yellow, Yellow-rumped, and Ovenbird in the woods and my yard, but this one is a real shocker. No idea if he'll stay in my area, but I sure hope he does!

Thanks!

Delia in Brunswick

Doug,

Thanks for this--you may well be right. It would certainly make more sense! Call off the dogs, folks!

Hi Delia:

This sounds like the “dawn song” of Northern Parula. I am outside on my phone so I could be wrong but you might want to look up that recording and compare the two. Hope this helps!

Good birding,

Doug

The Penobscot Chapter of Maine Audubon enjoyed a warbler walk in Bradley
this morning, walking one mile along Government Road through the Penobscot
Experimental Forest to Leonard's Mills. Terrific walk, with 43 species
tallied.
Noteworthy: TEN Tennessee Warblers, often in very close proximity to each
other, singing like crazy! Looks like a good fallout from last night. Also
a black-billed cuckoo. Glad to hear the eastern wood-pewees back.

I wasn't able to hear the recording but another possibility is a Black-throated Blue Warbler which will sometimes sing a Cerulean song.  Pat Moynahan and I have had a BTBL immediately zoom in while playing a Cerulean song and just a couple of days ago we had a Cerulean sing a BTBL song in western Mass.  Just to make bird song more difficult than it already is!
