A classic dark morph. At Watson Lake, in trees just below the overlook this afternoon, and also in the tree where the Red-shouldered Hawk has been reported.? That bird is also still in that area.?

I went out to find the warbler over my lunch break, about 12:30. Went to the spot previously identified, but could not find it.? Hopefully somebody else can pick it up later today or tomorrow.
-Matt Hinton seen this morning 850 to 915 ish - female/young, bold eye ring, gray head, thin wing bars, yellow throat/breast/belly, white undertail coverts, end of tail dipped in black, right where carl found it yesterday - peavine trail north from parking lot, just past electric lines is a bench on right. bird was about 30 feet beyond bench on left. very active. ronnie reed & tom debardeleben got pictures.

Here is a posting of Dr. Carl Tomoff's?great?sighting of a Magnolia Warbler along the Peavine trail yesterday.? Carl requested we post this.? Good birding!
? "I watched this warbler foraging among dense deciduous foliage 10-20m away along the Peavine Trail southeast of Watson Lake from 0845-0905. When I heard a call note I didn’t recognize, I stopped near a trailside bench just north of the major powerline corridor crossing the creek. I used 10x42 binoculars. The sun was behind me. At times the bird was fully exposed. I saw a white eye ring, two thin wing bars, lower belly to undertail coverts and under tail feathers halfway to the dark terminal band. Its lower belly, chest, and throat were yellow. Its yellow flank had thin black streaks. Its head and wings appeared grayish. About 0920 I alerted a group of birders who were also able to observe it. This is my first sighting of Magnolia Warbler in Yavapai County."

Re: New Access Protocol for the Prescott WTP
Thanks, Sue, for making this happen.Certainly good for those who want to go through the process. Like you said, though, very wonky and not good for Verdy Valley folks.

I seem to be acting as forwarder lately. This message comes from Ryan Crouse who believes he heard a Gray Hawk at the wildlife pond in Watson Woods just now. He would welcome a confirmation, of course.
