Hi Folks!
Just a quick reminder that the Winter Reporting Season for ABA Field Notes
just ended. Please get your sightings for December-January-February in as soon
as possible. If you reported something already to the Voice of the Naturalist,
or posted it on MDOsprey of Valley Birds, we already have it :-). Anything
else is welcome!
But what about PALM WARBLERS? The Spring Season will have them in greater
abundance than the Winter Season. A reliable source has indicated that Yellow
Palm Warblers and Western Palm Warbelrs have be studied in a preliminary way.
They have different breeding areas, different songs, different habitat
preferences, different migration timing.....and no apparent intergrades! If
something is due for a split.......
When you see a Palm Warbler this Spring..take the time to note which kind. We
need as much information as we can get.
Good Birding!
