Awesome birding at West Creek this morning & afternoon. I left work mid-day after recieving a call from Jen Brumfield that there was a PRAIRIE WARBLER singing near the parking lot. The bird wasn't singing when I arrived, but I managed to refind it briefly in that same general area (east of the parking lot). Soon thereafter, I found a SEDGE WREN at the far southern end of the landfill just east of the paved road. This bird was truly a skulker - at first it was sitting up chipping, but dropped to the grass, and would literally flush underfoot, 12 inches in front of me. The day's final rarity was a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, just inside the woods north of the gravel east-west road that crosses the landfill. It offered fufilling looks, foraging a bit lower than the rest of the "canopy" warblers. All told, 17 warbler species were seen. I didn't even make it to the ridge trail, but I was told by another birder that warblers were "streaming through the canopy" here as well.
