MacGillivray’s Warbler
(Quite grumpy looking)
H.J Andrews Experimental Forest, OR
#261
You remember my friend Eric? The same one helped me see my county-year Swainson’s Thrush and Calliope Hummingbird? Today around noon he texted me: “You don’t still need macgillivray’s do you?”
Yeah, actually, I did. People have been reporting them all over. Not a lot of them, just 1s and 2s in the appropriate brushy stream-side habitat. I’ve been looking, sifting through lots of Common Yellowthroats and Wilson’s Warblers, but so far no luck.
Anyway, I headed to the 8th Street bridge where Eric had just seen three of them, and shortly thereafter he refound one of them for me. Thanks Eric!

Tags: birds, PJH, carp without cars, santa barbara county year list, mgwa, mine was significantly less grumpy-looking, prolly b/c he hadn't been mist-netted and held for banding.
