A splash of yellow for spring...







I've always rather liked Yellow-throated Warblers, but they have mostly remained elusive for me in Ontario. Anyway, as luck would have it I had the opportunity to twitch one this morning in a small park near Stoney Creek near Hamilton. And what a fantastic bird it was too! Very obliging and putting on a great show for the few birders present. It sang a few times which was nice since I'm pretty sure I have never heard one sing before. Mostly it crept around on the trunks and large limbs of trees B&W Warbler fashion - very distinctive.

Other birds present included Pine, Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers and numerous Kinglets. We looked for the Least Bittern reported nearby but drew a blank with that one. Not too surprizing since the bird was seen in the middle of a small woodlot in the middle of nowhere in particular!

No moths in the trap overnight. I did see a nice Black-and-white Warbler on the way to Hugh's place though, and there did seem to be lots of White-throated Sparrows around...

David, I am happy to see you back at the trap...some warm weather coming so watch out..I found a dead moth in the stairwell at my work (between the 33 and 34 floor). Shall I keep it for id purposes. I am sure that I would be the only one to pick it up!
