In the last couple of weeks I have seen three rare birds. One is a white throated sparrow. Two is a palm warbler. Three is a eurasian wigeon. I will first talk about the eurasian wigeon. I saw the eurasian wigeon down at the park a week or two ago with a bunch of american wigeon the eurasian wigeon was a female so it was not super oveaus but I saw a female wigeon that had a bit of redish brown head compared to the grayish colored head of an american wigeon. I was still not one hundred percent sure that it was a female eurasian wigeon so when I got home I look in a few different bird books and online and decided that it was indeed a eurasian wigeon. The next bird it a palm warbler. I have seen two palm warblers in the last week week and a half one was down by the lake and the other was up by price street. The one at the lake I had been looking for the cape may warbler that dad had seen a week or two ago but had not been able to find it so I was going to look around the lake to see what birds I saw there. I was at the low end of the lake when I saw a warbler fly in to a bush. I realized that it was a palm warbler it was only the second palm warbler I had ever seen in sitka so I took some photos of it a followed it around for a bit then I went to the lake and went home. The second palm warbler that I had seen I saw up by price street and I saw it today while I was on my bike. I got a few photos of it but not many before it flew away. The finale rare bird I saw a was a white throated sparrow I was in the park and rowan told me the bird she had seen the day before was over there and so I went over there and took some photos of then went home. palm warbler by price street white throated sparrow at the park palm warbler at the lake there is an american wigoen on top and a eurasian wigeon on the bottom in the top photo eurasian wigeon
