Red Hills Golf Course

E-mail from Larry Tripp (16 Sep 2007):
Today at about 10:00 am at the Red Hills GC in St. George Peyton Cook
and I found a hatch year female Cape May Warbler. The bird is VERY
drab and can easily be mistaken for a yellow-rumped warbler. Note the
green rump and flight feathers, streaky sides and breast. Gray head and
back and a little yellow in the breast area. The bird was also giving a
high seet call. It was located in the willows just above the pond near the
new dirt crossing. We called Rick Fridell and he also was able to see the
bird and get pictures.
