First , if you were wondering why nothing was posted since 1 1/2 days ago, the Blogger was experiencing difficulties.
see the note from the company.
Friday, May 13, 2011
To get Blogger back to normal, all posts since 7:37am PDT on Weds, 5/11 have been temporarily removed. We expect everything to be back to normal soon. Sorry for the delay.
Must be something to do with "13" Friday. :)>
*********************************
I received rarity reports this morn while I was working..HOODED WARBLER reported somewhere near the Lower Pool back gate. Kathy Toomey passed the word to Tony Prastaro, Urban Park Ranger leading a kids group, when he informed me.
Now a really good one : MOURNING WARBLER (MOWA). Ed Crowne reported this species above this spring's hottest spot, the slope above the Wellhouse where all the great stuff were reported.
The bird was HEARD only, an expected sign with this skulker species..Here's good luck to anyone looking.
date = 2011/05/13
site = Prospect Park
observers = Ed Crowne and Phil Pane
Mourning Warbler Heard only at 6:30am and 7:15am, Lookout, above Wellhouse
