Subject: [Tweeters] Hermit Warbler at Discovery Park
Date: May 10 14:09:45 2008
From: Penny Rose - Penny.Rose at Seattle.Gov
Today's Migratory Bird Day tours at Discovery Park were highlighted by the sighting of a Hermit Warbler. This bird was seen by Scott Hoskin, Wareen Taylor, Ginger Chaffin, Kath Ross, myself and independently by Joyce Fowler. The bird was last seen feeding on Bitter Cherry at 12:30pm.
It would be worthwhile to recheck this area for the Hermit Warbler even if it is no longer present as there were also many other excellent birds including Red Crossbills, Warbling Vireos, Western Wood-Pewee, Black-throated Gray Warblers, Townsend's Warblers, Dark-eyed Juncos, White-crowned Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Western Tanagers, Violet-green and Tree Swallows as well as Savannah Sparrows (to name a few).
Ask for directions at the front desk of the Visitor Center/Environmental Learning Center.
