R.I.P. Black-throated Warbler

[Sara Oliver]

Birders,

 

I wanted to add to Caleb's post on the demise of the BTG Warbler that the
body of the bird was not visibly damaged and it appeared that she had simply
died from hypothermia. The roost area where the bird was found was on the
east side of the building and the wind shift to the east during the night
may have been the "last straw" for her. 

We were all amazed that the bird's body was found,  Tim Baerwald
demonstrated much skill and persistent scouting in making this discovery.
Thank you, Tim.

 

May our next rarity be a happier story,

 

Sara Oliver
