Subject: [MDBirding] Wilson's Warbler


Hi Everyone,

I had an unexpected hatch year female Wilson's Warbler in scrub at Poplar Point (Anacostia Park) in Washington DC this afternoon.� It was joined by a imm. female Common Yellowthroat and a male House Finch - all low in a brilliantly red sumac bush.� Lots of sparrows around in the weedy fields at Poplar Point - probably some great rarities hiding and inaccessible (at least today).� In addition to large numbers of Song Sparrows, I had some Swamp, Field and White-throatded and White-crowned Sparrows.

I wish Bonnie could come down here one day and work her Sparrow Magic to help find some real goodies!
