Re: Virginia’s not seen
Dear Alison and San Diego Birders,
I have also pulled my Virginia Warbler sighting the morning of Sept 14, after confirming with Alison Hiers today that there was a very pale Nashville in the mix this morning on Wing Stree, in addition to a very bright yellow Nashville (probably the same one I saw yesterday), and thought was the only Nashville around. My white bellied, white-flanked , and white-chinned VIWA could very well have been a very pale NAWA high up in the tree and half the time hidden by leaves, and the longer tail just a trick of angle. In any event, since there is room for doubt, I plan to revise my report. A good lesson learned! Thanks to Alison and Jimmy M. and others for their posts, and to the editors of eBird for keeping us on our toes. Happy fall warbler-ing to all, Sue
