I braved the cold, windy, and rainy day to try for the Purple Gallinule at
Columbia Reservation today. When I got there, which was about 1:15, it
was kind of cold, but luckily not raining at all. I started looking for
the bird and spotted it at about 1:20. It was very cooperative and allowed
great looks for pictures. The bird was also bobbing its tail for a little
bit which was interesting.
I started walking back to the parking lot and saw a couple of warblers
hopping around in the bushes. I identified them as Yellow Warblers. But
then, I noticed a Yellow Warbler nest in a bush! It was very small and I
have never seen a Yellow Warbler nest. Also saw some Barn Swallows,
Northern Rough-winged Swallows, and Chimney Swifts flying around. Lastly,
I had about 4 Baltimore Orioles (2 females + 2 males) in the trees and
singing.
It was well worth the trip to see this very colorful and magnificent bird.
Good Birding,
