Howdy All!

Yes!  That's right!  A genuine SWAINSON'S WARBLER report by me!  OK. 
The world can end now.  After hunting passively (I always had OTHER
targets until last year) over the last 17 years in Texas, Mississippi,
Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia and actively (warbler as
the only target) in Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia...I now have a
real warbler report...well...almost.  Ahem.  Clear throat.  HEARD ONLY.

Greg:

Congrats on the Swainson's Warbler! Don't feel bad about hear only. You can only put yourself in the right place at the right time and if they won't allow you to look at them, so be it.

BTW, we totally dipped out on Black Rail at Port Mahon and the Little Egret at Little Creek. Or any rail of any kind. The wind was howling off of the bay and not much other than hundreds of shorebirds that were making lots of noise.

Good Birding!
