Yup, I saw one, another great lifer today just about 300 feet from where I saw the Prothonotary yesterday.
Others this morning:
Redstart
Black-throated Blue
Prairie
Yellow-throated
Parula
Black-and-white
Gnatcatcher
Pergrine Falcon- 2
heard Belted Kingfisher
The Kentucky was a dull female, but I will take a Kentucky any way I can. At first I thought what I heard was a wren calling, and investigated. The bird popped out of some weeds and started hopping and walking on the ground in plain view about 25 feet away.
I got some chills and goosebumps, like I did with the Prothonotary when I looked at this bird, not believing it was a Kentucky. It was probably the way Raul felt after seeing them in Key West, too. Warbler number #26
for me! I hope there was good luck in Matheson too.
