Field Notes from the Past #22

Being a continuation of field-journal entries from the springs of 1962 and 1963 when I was a budding ornithologist of just 15 or 16 growing up in the rural village of Galien in Berrien County, Michigan.

May 6 [1962], Sunday

I saw my first Nashville Warbler today in a woodland swamp. I saw the yellow throat and white eye ring clearly, so it could not have been confused with the Connecticut Warbler.

Many Palm Warblers and a single Indigo Bunting were seen on migration today.
