PM: For The Birds

Max Kennedy, from Skyway Elementary, correctly identifies the Townsend’s Warbler during a field trip with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Kingston on Tuesday. Townsend’s warblers are showy lightweights. Each of the tiny birds sports a dark crown, jaunty yellow chest and a weight comparable to a Hershey’s chocolate kiss. They’re mostly seen in brief flashes through tree branches, unless you’re lucky enough to be a second-grader on a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service field trip. The students leaned in to inspect the Townsend’s warbler in Roy Brazzle’s hand. It was captured Tuesday morning in a mist net along the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River.
