The highlight of the past few weeks was definitely the Pine Warbler yesterday, though. This is NOT, I repeat NOT, a species I expected to get in Kansas any time soon, let alone in Rooks. But a small group of birders found a few small groups in the area over the weekend. So it was on my mind as a possibility, albeit a very remote possibility. But the bird I saw was a pretty typical individual. I even got great looks at the undertail, which definitively separated it from Blackpoll or Bay-breasted.
Anyways, I now sit at 241 birds for Kansas for the year! I'm only 4 away from my target! With the way migration is going right now, I wouldn't be surprised to get it in the next few weeks.
