Suspense at 3 sisters islands

There was suspense and initial excitement over a possible MacGillivrays Warbler at South shore Prospect Lake. When the dust settled down, it now appears more likely a female Mourning warbler is the culprit.. At least there was a lurking Least Bittern across the lake.

A twitter tweet from a photographer birder sent the flash mob to south shore with hopes of seeing Kings first MacGillivrays. After the first spot at the willow swamp across from 3 Sisters western island, the bird flew across to Three Sisters as the mob waited patiently for a reappearance. Apparently more photos were obtained for better identification. The early consensus points to a female Mourning warbler which has broken eye arcs but not as bold.I'll wait and see for more details.

Obviously there are disappointed birders, but at least the Least Bittern stuck around presumably the same one from early May. It was heard calling from within the phragmites at Peninsula "thumb".

And Baybreasted still comes through; I believed it was reported also on South shore.
