Lincoln county --- CONNECTICUT WARBLER, 10/3/17

[Mark Peterson]

Hi Cobirders,

First, I apologize that this is another bird on private property but I still wanted to get the word out.

Late yesterday evening, there was a CONNECTICUT WARBLER working a willow, that also had a WOOD THRUSH in it, out in the middle-of-nowhere Lincoln county. The warbler was actively feeding and was busy catching flies, probably other prey as well. Then it would sit for one to two minutes, typically fairly obscured by twigs and leaves, then start feeding again. The bird had a complete eye-ring, all gray hood, and undertail coverts extending far back on the tail.

The Wood Thrush was foraging as well and was accompanied by two HERMIT THRUSH. There were very few other birds at this location.
