[Tweeters] Re: BT Gray Warblers

[Gene Stagner]

Just got back to WA from a trip to AZ where we were fortune into to see 
the Flame-colored Tanager in Madera Canyon.  Quite a sight. So am trying 
to catch up with tweeters.

I did indeed SEE one Black-Tailed Gray Warbler after about 20 minutes of 
tramping through the brush and conifers behind my house.  While watching 
it through the binos another warbler was singing some distance away.  
That one sounded identical to the one I was watching.  The other 
warblers I heard were less distinct and could have been Townsend's since 
I have several of these also in the back yard forest.  The next day I 
SAW and heard a BTGW across the street in a small conifer while at the 
same time hearing several other what I assumed to be BTGW in the woods 
behind my house. 

As is the case in many other locations, birds are arriving earlier and 
possibly leaving earlier.  Probably just another indication of GW.
