Hood Required

Mike Warner

It’s a rare treat to find a Hooded Warbler.  We had heard one was flitting around but just managed to miss it each time.  We saw a group of birders who had just seen it flit over to one side of the thicket.  We were advised to be patient since the bird seemed to be making its rounds.  Sure enough it showed up in all its hooded glory.
