PA Birders - I birded at a new location this morning along
Southampton Rd near the old Byberry State Hospital. I met Marty there which was really good since
he knew where to go. The habitat is perfect for Connecticut and Mourning
warblers, sparrows and other edge species.
We heard a chip note that I have not heard before which was deeper and
richer than Common Yellowthroat. Marty
pretty much knew what it was, and then viola - a Connecticut popped into a low
tree branch. Awesome. But wait, there was another chip note and
tada - a second Connecticut warbler popped into the same tree. 2, count them, 2
CONWs in the same tree at the same time.
I never thought it possible and I'm glad that Marty was with me to
witness it.
Oh, did I mention the photos? Yup. I have photos of both birds (separately, not
together).

Who is Marty and why were you not at work? Can't believe the two biggest brains (you and TH) could be off on the same day. HH
I was late for work, not absent. don't worry, we can't leave the job unattended.
Two in one tree, such luck! Despite birding Point Pelee as a teen (and more recently, scouring a hedgerow in California where one had been seen) I have never yet seen a Connecticut warbler.
