Yellow-throated Warbler has arrived!

Today I joined fellow birder Leigh Surdukowski on her bird walk that she led for the Monticello Bird Club along the Rivanna Trail in the Pen Park area of Charlottesville.  All in all the group found 35 species highlighted by excellent looks of another spring arrival, Yellow-throated Warbler!  The YTWA was a year bird for me and only the 3rd one I've ever seen!  It was a life bird for two people on the walk.  

We also enjoyed wonderful looks of a Swamp Sparrow, and Field Sparrows.

Stay tuned for more news from me as spring progresses.
