Greetings All,

Saturday was heckuva great birding day as we arrived into Mobile
County,Alabama  . Gliding way overhead the Mobile Tensaw Delta NWR , we saw
a Swallow-tailed Kite gliding over the huge bridge that spans the wetland
area. .   Little did we know  that about an hour or so later on Dauphin
Island  we would receive tips from many birders there that a vagrant,  male
adult Painted Redstart  would be in our midst. Following the provided
directions we located it and enjoyed observing  it as it flitted and
displayed  around the oaks-sometimes directly overhead at the Audubon Center
on that island. We will return back to Ohio by next weekend  and hopefully
have some photos to share.

Supposedly there are only a very few records of this warbler being seen in
Alabama.
