I got my first field bird surveys complete on the restricted access Prescott Peninsula today on a beautiful morning with wall to wall sunshine, calm conditions and low humidity.  I started a little before five and then conducted surveys for the next two and half hours before I headed home to check on Wilson and take him for his first real walk since his surgery last Saturday.  Warblers of course figured prominently during the surveys as multiple species can be found in the habitat of fields and edges.  Most species seemed to be around in expected numbers with all present being breeding species.  Beyond the warblers a very interesting bright yellow Scarlet Tanager was found during the survey and more on that can be found at the following post: bright yellow Scarlet Tanager.
