Fabulous 41

Meet Yard Bird 41 to be blipped this year a male Cape May Warbler in non-breeding plumage. This species is a yard first and one that it took me several hours to verify. Cape May Warblers are only seen here during spring and fall migration. This one was traveling with a female (see Extra) who looks quite different, which added to the id confusion. Also, I’ve only ever seen Cape Mays on a few occasions in the spring when they look totally different.

I am still feeling pretty poopy so after spending this morning in the garden and hide, I spent much of the afternoon sleeping. I hate to miss a moment outside right now, but my body had other ideas.

Released three monarchs today. Two fine males and one female.

Thank you for stopping by.
