Prairie Warbler at Sparrow Alley

Mike Manetz just called to report a Prairie Warbler where La Chua’s Sparrow Alley meets the power line cut. I think that may be the first confirmed Prairie Warbler in June Challenge history.

Nobody was able to relocate the Brown Pelican at Lake Wauberg yesterday or this morning.

Lloyd Davis relocated the Bobolinks off the old Sweetwater Dike yesterday and got a great picture of one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/17834028723/in/dateposted-public/

Lloyd also photographed Chris Cattau’s Gray Catbird this morning: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18456487621/in/dateposted-public/ Mike saw it yesterday afternoon and believes there might be a pair.

If you’re closer to High Springs than Newberry, you might be interested in this location for White-winged Doves, discovered by Peter Polshek: “While looking for my suspected E Kingbird, I found a pair of WW Doves. I think I may have heard starlings and mistaken them for a kingbird…or not. They were located in trees along the southern fenceline of 10807 SR 41 south of High Springs. The house has for sale signs and is across the street of a property that had giant (truly) cardinals on top of each fence post.”
