Blackpoll Warbler, Summer Tanager, & Green-tailed Towhee
Today, Monday, I was able to refind the Blackpoll Warbler and Summer Tanager previously reported by Barbara Carlson. The bright red Summer Tanager flew into a tree at the corner of 6th and Country Club Lane. The Blackpoll Warbler was seen further north on Country Club Lane, first by Nicole in the blooming Melaleuca at 510 Country Club Lane. I was able to refind the bird later around 2:30 pm in a largeTipuana Tipu tree even further north at 471 Country Club Lane. This is the very large-canopied tree in the middle of the front yard at this address. The homeowners are very friendly and they love their tree and their birds!
Also this afternoon, I saw the Green-tailed Towhee reported earlier in IB by Susan Yamagata. The Towhee was very cooperative and easy to find from the end of the driveway.
