Kentucky Warbler Spotted in Unlikely Habitat

By Beth Burke | Monday, July 21, 2008, 10:56 AM

At Sugarcreek MetroPark, a Kentucky Warbler has been sighted for the past few days just north of intersection 13. It is unusual to find them in this shrubby meadow habitat, because they usually like the deep woods. This location is not far from the parking lot, and will only take you about 15 minutes to get there. During the morning, listen for its characteristic “churr-reee? churr-reee? churr-reee?” song. Bring binoculars!
