Nashville Warbler plus more winter arrivals, Lake Herrick 20-21/10Two more beautiful sunny mornings at Lake Herrick have continued to produce the goods. Best bird was undoubtedly a Nashville Warbler, my first in Clarke County. Strangely, as I was phoning the news out to James Neves he drove right up to me, and after 10 minutes of tense waiting he was on the bird! A good number of warbler species are still around, sometimes giving great views in the sunshine. This is what Joel would call a 'great cloaca shot' of a Tennessee Warbler.  2-3 Magnolia Warblers persist around the lakeshore.   Palm Warblers are just starting to be outnumbered by Myrtles.  This morning's treat was a Blackburnian Warbler.  A few more FOTS birds have come in. After my first Golden-crowned Kinglets in the botgarden on 19th, I found multiple birds at Herrick and the backyard. Yesterday brought my first Blue-headed Vireo of the fall, a gorgeous bright individual.  Today's new arrival was a 'chupping' Hermit Thrush. One of the local Red-tails making the most of the good weather.
