This afternoon at The Honors golf course in Ooltewah I saw several warblers in
spite of the temperature being 47 degrees. I saw a few Pine Warblers (nothing
unusual about that). I also saw a Cape May Warbler (way past when I expected to
see one) and a few Yellow-rumped Warblers (but few compared to last week). In
over 30 years I have never seen Blackpoll Warblers on this property until this
week (I saw some Oct. 31 also). Some could have been Bay-breasted as I have
seen several this fall even as late as last week but I am pretty sure what I
saw today were all Blackpolls. They are hard to tell apart and I am not good
enough to say for sure.David StoneOoltewah, TnHamilton Co.
