With daylight fading we instead tried to approach from the east and once our car failed, we walked as far in as we could get and mostly stared at reeds. Though we did hear lots of birds we did not see the whistling duck. Life is pain.<br /><br />Great elfin shots! We did not get such an opportunity!coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647003656628845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-47513346733839662112017-01-19T13:55:46.491-08:002017-01-19T13:55:46.491-08:00Elfin-Woods Warbler, in addition to having a great...Elfin-Woods Warbler, in addition to having a great name, is like the final evolved form of Black-and-White Warbler--rarer and with better stats. <br /><br />PUGA was a sort of second-tier nemesis for me for a while, managing to miss them on two separate occasions in Florida, including at Corkscrew Swamp which I have concluded just actually, contrary to popular opinion, sucks. Putting it to rest in Brazos TX was very sweet.<br /><br />Whistling Ducks are great; thanks for introducing me to another!Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.com
