Golden-winged Warbler in Rice County
2013-06-10

Five or fewer records in Rice County for the Summer season

Actually not a Golden-winged Warbler but Blue-winged x Golden-winged hybrid, what Sibley calls a Lawrence's backcross (but there's no choice of this hybrid in the pull-down menu for the Showcase). Kevin Smith and I found this bird in Rice County Wilderness area, east side. It was on the south side of the ravine, nearly to the end of the path, where the woods opens up onto an oak savanna. =
