TX - April, Swainson's Warbler

Swainson's Warbler - Blucher Park, Corpus Christie, TX. April 15th, 2015. 

One of the bigger tour highlights for me, and a genuine thrill to get 15 Brits on to a 

close, forgaging Swainson's Warbler. 

TX - Swainson's Warblers - 04/20

Swainson's Warbler - Jasper area, TX. April 20th, 2010.

Swainson's Warbler - Sabine Woods, TX. April 20th, 2010.

April 20th gave our group not one but two Swainson's Warblers! The first was a singing bird seen well but fleetingly at Jasper in the morning, followed by the late evening discovery of a migrant at Sabine Woods during a tremendous fall-out which included many tens of Wood and Swainson's Thrushes.

This species holds a special fascination for me having heard them so many more times than I've actually seen them. To be presented with two sightings in one day was way beyond my expectation.
