Audubon's "Extra" Warbler

Although Alexander Wilson and John James Audubon were outstanding early ornithologists, they still made errors in identifying North American songbirds. One species that gave them fits--we call it Audubon's "Extra" Warbler--is the topic of discussion for the latest "This Week at Hilton Pond." To view the photo essay about this confusing fall migrant, please visit the installment for 8-14 October 2005 by clicking on the words "Audubon's 'Extra' Warbler" in the title above.

As always, we include a list of all birds banded during the period, as well as a few nature notes and a comment about our waning Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.


Happy Nature Watching!
