Surprised and delighted to spot a Tennessee Warbler on Monday night. Stopped the bike at one of my favorite
birding spots along the bike trail and after twnty minutes of scanning with my
Swarovski Pocket 8x20, I spotted the Tennessee. Got a good look through the
binocular as the bird bounced around in the tree canopy above me. In our area, this species is a common migrant, not a resident, but it is known for its early migration, so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised to see it. Just wasn't in an autumn state of mind until this warbler reminded me that the seasons will soon be changing. Beats a calendar, any day.
