Lake Murray continuing Palm Warbler, also Nashville and Tennessee Warblers
Went to Lake Murray late Sunday morning December 9 looking for previous reported ducks. Was able to find 1 female Common Goldeneye and 1 female Canvasback; but did not see White-winged Scoter. The large cottonwood trees immediately east of the boat launch facility had a host of warblers, including a Palm Warbler, which was reported on ebird recently. There was also a Nashville Warbler and a Tennessee Warbler: small, short-tailed, mostly green warbler with white belly and undertail coverts. Eyeline pattern similar to Orange-crowned; but more distinct. Orange-crowned was in same tree allowing direct comparison.
