After seeing Loch's report of the continuing Nashville, I decided to take another run at it, having dipped on it yesterday. This time, success. But first there was a Joe Roller sighting, and between the two of us and forty-five minutes of searching, we finally located the bird. As Loch had suggested, it was working the very highest branches of cottonwoods. The photo won't win any prizes, but considering that the bird was over sixty feet up, it was the best I could do.
After following the bird around for an hour and acquiring my first case of warbler-neck for the spring, I continued around the lake to the north. The area was very birdy but had little out of the ordinary. There were lots of yellow-rumps and a few hermit thrushes. At the far east end of the north marsh (the one that extends across the entire north end of the property) I found a swamp sparrow loosely associating with a song sparrow.
The vermilion flycatcher (great find!) was working the same area at the south end of the lake.
