Finally got out this long weekend, up to the Bruce Peninsula (an underrated and underbirded region, in my opinion, as its varied habitat always yields some fantastic birding). I moved into the city about a month ago, and I've been so busy getting my life back in order that my time spent birding has been virtually nil. I'd planned to fill a lot more pages than I did (company tied me up most of Sat & Sun), but I did manage to tick a few more species off the life list, including a 30-second look at my jinx bird -- a gorgeous male Blackburnian Warbler who turned up in a maple tree above my head as I enjoyed my lunch earlier today.
My target was 15 warbler species for the weekend, and I came close -- 13, not including a probable Tennessee (whom I could have identified, if only he'd come down a little from that treetop!). A week earlier might have yielded a few more migrants, but I'm happy nonetheless. I've needed this weekend!
