["Joanna Taylor" <jandrtaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got killer looks at the BTGW at Blandy today in a
location that I don't think has yet been posted on the
list: in the cedars on the west side of the Old Quarters
building near the staff parking lot from about 11:45 on.
The path to the Old Quarters building starts from the
parking lot near the info kiosk and leads to an archway
in the building.  I was lucky enough to meet a couple of
birders who told me the bird had been seen in the cedars
to the right of the archway, hanging out with kinglets, but
that it had left.  I went to look anyhow, but all was quiet
except for some Red-breasted Nuthatches tooting in the
garden beyond.  I went through the archway to look at them
and decided to circle around to the west side of the
building since there were a bunch more cedars there.  Again
I was lucky to see a small bird zip from one cedar to
another and in fact it was the warber.  The tree I saw it
in was quite close to the building.  It was worth the trip.
