This may be one for the record books.  Today (8-15-99) i saw a Prairie 
Warbler in my yard feeding a young Prairie that was still mostly in nestling 
plumage (yellow just starting to break on the breast & sides).  Oddly, the 
Prairies last sang in our yard on June 16!  After, what i assumed was a very 
successful nesting, based on how ever-present they were this year.  So they 
apparently pulled off a completely silent nesting, considering this nest must 
have started around July 10 or so.
