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.
