This day I put on my reading glasses and low and behold a lazuli wow too young I get too smart & too old i get too slow thanks liz

My first thought was a lazuli bunting.

Bird was really far out in photo can’t enlarge what caught my eye was what I will call a red Bib?? Could be across of something. Montour found 

Thank you!

Darren Clark and Cameron Todd found singing male Chestnut-sided Warbler was present this morning at Mud Lake WMA along the trail at Camas Creek. We left the bird singing in the treetops ~30-50 meters down the trail from the trailhead. It’s possible it’s the same bird Darren had last week but it seems equally likely it’s a different male. 

Anyway, keeping you all informed about the cool stuff in the eastern part of the state lately, and for those interested in chasing 🙂

Rose breasted grosbeaks are notoriously hard to chase when they aren’t coming to a feeder. thanks for email and for following up!
