We don't know whether Roger Tory Peterson actually coined the phrase
"confusing fall warblers," but the concept shouldn't really apply if
you spend a little time learning field marks. To help, we've put
together a collection of mug shots and profile images of 11 fall
warblers we captured so far this month and posted it as the latest
installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond." To view the photo essay for
22-28 September 2009, go to
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek090922.htmlAfter reading about fall warblers, please don't forget to scroll down
for a list of all birds banded or recaptured during the third week of
September, as well as nature notes about late-breeding American
Goldfinches, the current status of Ruby-throated Hummingbird banding
at Hilton Pond, and the sighting of a bird seldom seen at the Center.
Happy Nature Watching!
