This day before Thanksgiving turns out to be a good one. Wednesday wonders included late warblers Wilson's and Canada, feeder Purple Finch and the continuing AMERICAN BITTERN.
Just south of Nethermead 3 arches bridge above the steps, a gorgeous male CANADA WARBLER stuck around for a half hour at the lawn woods edge where a lawn is being restored ,protected by a mesh fence. The bird eventually flew to the Binnen Creek after 5 birders watched it.
The long continuing Wilsons warbler still visits the Well Drive 3 containers.
During her Wilson's observation, Terri who for her good charity donating bird seed money lucked in seeing the AMERICAN BITTERN fly across prospect lake towards the south shore. It's good to see this rare heron stick around .
And last, with the feeders barely up, within the hour start a PURPLE FINCH female delighted birders with its stage the platform feeder. And that's good news if it can call in more winter finches.
