This is another oasis for passerines, but it was also a slower spot when we stopped in with a single Black-and-white Warbler , Nashville Warbler , and Yellow-breasted Chat looking for refreshment. It also happens to be a good, free bathroom stop!

Danny let us know about a bird he had earlier that he was convinced was a Connecticut Warbler , something I teased him about because he has never seen one and it was fun to tell him that he actually had a Nashville Warbler , of which there were at least two in the park.

Niagara Falls State Park, right above the cataracts, is where I used to bike to on May days to see dozens of fantastic chestnut Bay-breasted Warblers whispering from the canopy, American Redstarts and Tennessee Warblers and Nashville Warblers filling the woods with song.

This recently-arrived Nashville Warbler was also in a deeply shaded part of Las Mesas’ forests. Males of this species, and of their very close relative the Black-chinned Hummingbird , tend to winter far downhill on the coast. So I am surprised and delighted to have seen males of each species in the past few weeks.

Those would be birds like Nashville, Black-throated Blue, Prairie, and Cape-May Warblers. In Costa Rica, those would be the wood-warblers that do a lot more wintering in the southern USA and the Caribbean than in southern Central America.

In addition to my regulars at the pond, this past week included several migratory species… a Nashville Warbler ( Oreothlypis ruficapilla ) and a Yellow Warbler ( Setophaga petechia )… a female Western Tanager ( Piranga ludoviciana )… and a real rarity in my yard, a Black-throated Gray Warbler ( Setophaga nigrescens ).

A late Nashville Warbler , an Orange-crowned Warbler , and a bunch of dabbling ducks were some of his top species. Some lakewatching at the Irondequot Bay Outlet was rewarded by my FOY Purple Sandpiper , a rather brown bird feeding on the rocks of the jetty. Corey saw some decent birds this weekend but nothing that really astounded.

But it isn’t until late December that the Nashville and Black-throated Gray Warblers join the party, as well as Summer and Western Tanagers, and Warbling Vireos. A month or so later, they are joined by Hooded Orioles, Yellow-rumped ( Audubon ) and Orange-crowned Warblers , and at least one Northern House Wren.

I love Nashville Warblers from every angle. Not only do these species lack any special attachment to the areas in question, but Wilson earns extra demerits for mixing states and cities with a decidedly unscientific sloppiness. Instead, you’ll find it in thick deciduous woods.
