Podrobnosti k pozorování
Continuing bird from yesterday at the same location (next to the main entrance on the east side on the Old Forest Loop, mostly between OFL 16-17 but later heard singing closer to OFL 20): 35.146250, -89.984990. No playback needed/used (just some good old-fashioned patience) as the bird sang intermittently on its own accord: a loud, snappy song midway between a Northern Waterthrush and a Common Yellowthroat. At one point, it actually sang above me (!), though I couldn’t locate it at the time, even though it was right next to the trail. After a bit of pursuit on the OFL trail, I eventually got a brief but crippling view at eye-level, when the bird popped up on its own accord: a large, thrush-like warbler with a short tail/long undertail coverts; dull yellow below; olive above; with a rich dark gray hood that did not fully encompass the back of the head; and a bold, complete white eye ring. Gave song bouts at irregular intervals from 7:55-8:20. Heard again at 8:35, then seen twice more in succession at 8:45. Last heard at 9:10 and then again briefly at 9:32. All three visuals were between OFL 16+17 in the jewelweed-festooned treefall immediately to the south of the trail. Watch for shaking jewelweed, which betrayed its activity a couple of times, even when the bird was just out of sight. The second visual was elicited, I think, because I was getting mildly mobbed by a pair of nearby titmice, after which this warbler shot up from the undergrowth and perched nearby above head height, though I didn't get on it until it was starting to settle back down into the dense understory. Thanks to David Compton for the great find and perfect directions! According to eBird's map of sightings so far this year, this is the first (and only, thus far) CONW to be seen in Tennessee. Other migrants are clustered in three tiers: coastal Florida, the front range of the southern Appalachians, and especially around the greater Chicago area (nw Indiana, ne Illinois, se Wisconsin, and sw Michigan). The migration corridor for this species is surprisingly tight east-to-west.
