Warbler
Workshop in Jackson Park, Hendersonville, NC
25
September 2005
Fall is always an exciting time of the year
and we try to time a good visit to Jackson Park at the peak of migration! Today,
while
not
having some of the real rarities that regularly visit the park, we had a lot of
the more common species of warblers on their way south. The top 3 were Magnolia
and Chestnut-sided Warblers and American Redstart, followed closely by Northern
Parula and Bay-breasted. Off course most were in their somewhat subdued fall
colors which made them a little more of a challenge to pick out of the crowd.
Many Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were moving through and those that stayed through
lunch had good views of both Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes along the
Warbler Trail, as well as a very obliging male Hooded Warbler.
