Day 3 of The Biggest Week

May 10, 2010 | 3

Blackburnian Warblers gave a great shown yesterday.

The weather improved considerably and so did the birding on Day 3, Sunday. Decent warbler reports came back from the boardwalk, baby Great Horned owlets were seen at Ottawa NWR, in addition to Baird’s and White-rumped Sandpipers. I had a great dinner conversation with the folks from The Biggest Twitch, and ending the evening on a high note by learning about Ecuador’s 130 species of hummingbirds (fully 1/3 of the world’s species are represented in Ecuador, and hummingbird-dedicated tours are popular).

It’s morning again, and a Golden-winged Warbler is eluding me, so I will summon all birding power on the boardwalk to find it. Wish me luck.

    Great to see you again Laura!

    We seem to meet at all the warbler hot-spots, first the Kirtland’s now 20 some other species at Magee! It is a tough life, but someone has to do it, right?
