SWAINSONS WARBLER!!!

On Thursday morning, I recieved a tweet that there was a Swainson's Warbler at Strawberry Fields. This is a southern warbler thst only nests as far north as Virginia. and are found in New YorkSo that afternoon. I got to Strawberry Fields as soon as I could, and saw a bunch of people laying on the West Drive with their binoculars pointed into a bush. I knew I had to join them. I now had the SWAINSON'S WARBLER in my sights. It was foraging in the leaf litter and finding a lot of worms there, so I could see why it didn't move much. This bird was a state lifer for just about everyone, including myself, and is easily the rarest bird I have seen so far this year. Let's just hope something rarer will show this year!
