Author and artist David Allen Sibley stopped by the BirdNote studio and quickly sketched a Townsend's Warbler (from memory!) for our cameras.
How does the author of the "Sibley Guide to Birds" decide what bird to draw? Whatever he saw most recently, and he'd seen a Townsend's Warbler with an Audubon field trip near Seattle that morning.
