| From: | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 15 Sep 2009 17:36:33 -0700479_iso-8859-1 I spent a couple hours at Mosquito L. this afternoon, mostly at the NW end but also at the causeway. There were many birds, but even with a scope and backlighting the distance made viewing quite difficult. I did come up with wood ducks, Am. wigeon, blue-winged teal, 25 n. shovelers, 35 green-winged teal, hooded mergansers, double-crested cormorants, 33 great egrets, greater yellowlegs, 20 lesser yellowlegs, Bonaparte's gull, and belted kingfisher.

Well, after I posted my second hand report of the Kirtlands Warbler at East Harbor State Park, I went to see it for myself. It had (of course) hidden itself away in the underbrush by the time that I (and many others) arrived. However, after I left, it was seen again by many observers between 3 and 4:30ish. The bird was hanging around a large locust tree on the east side of the Meadow Trail loop. It was again not visible when I went back. Oh well. Maybe it will still be around tomorrow.
Also, it is apparently a female or immature bird, not an adult male as previously posted.
Hopefully someone who has actually seen this bird will post more details, but I wanted to let potential chasers know that it was still there this afternoon.
Good Birding,
Steve Landes
