Good evening all ! Sorry for this late post. I was birding this
afternoon (~3ish) with the two other naturalists @ Darke County Parks'
Shawnee Prairie preserve. Below is a list of what we saw...including
a 'possible' Cerulean Warbler.
I say "possible" because I only saw it briefly, announced it and then
(stupidly) turned to get the other's attention off their yellow-rumped
warbler, looked back and it was gone. The biggest problem, was there
were several Blue-gray gnatcatchers in the area at the same time, so I
have begun to second-guess my original observation. I'm still about
80% confident that it was not a blue-gray and was indeed a cerulean.
Anyway, with the massive amounts of wind that were in the area today
(and possible storms tonight), I'm hoping to make a second observation
early tomorrow morning. Sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to
clear that up! Here's the list!
