[SBB] Tennessee Warbler

After spending over an hour walking between the Fennel nearest Blossom Hill Rd [where the flood plane extends away from the path] to the Fennel nearest the pond and checking the "river" and it's banks in between for the Tennessee Warbler Peggy Don came by and suggested that I simply stand and wait for the bird to come to the Fennel where the flood plane widens. A few minutes later Peggy spotted the TEWA as it made a short flight out of a large bush to the Fennel nearby. We then watched the bird for the next hour as it fed over about a 20 ft section of Fennel occasionally being joined by YELLOW and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS. It was amazing to note how the color of the crown would change from a dark olive to a deep rufous depending on it's attitude within the Fennel [and the lighting angle] and the lime green uppertail coverts were very reminiscent of the back of first fall Chestnut-sided Warblers. A difficult bird to ID from most angles but a great one to watch up close. Peggy was still trying for photos when I left just before three. Thanks Peggy for County lifer #329.
