[Bristol-Birds] Connecticut Warbler

I was at Bays Mountain this morning and saw a few good birds.  Most 
significant was a probable Connecticut Warbler.  It was on the woodland floor 
above the 
upper parking lot.  As I was entering my car and about to leave, I heard 
"beecher, beecher, beecher, beecher, beecher." I got out of my car and waited 
for 
a repeat for direction to the bird.  In less than a minute, it repeated the 
"beecher" five times again.  Both Ovenbird and Carolina Wren had been calling 
earlier and were quite different.  I moved up hill and it called a third time.  
This time I was able to get the direction of the call.  As I carefully 
approached, a relatively large warbler-like bird flew off the ground and 
disappeared 
deeper into the woodland.  I did not hear or see it again.  Also present this 
morning in the vicinity of the main building were Blackburnian Warbler, 
Black-throated Green Warbler, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, 
Scarlet Tanager, and on the other side of the dam I saw and heard Ovenbird, 
Wood 
Duck, Hairy Woodpecker, Scarlet Tanager and lots of Red-eyed Vireos.  The usual 
Turkeys were sentries at the main gate!  John Moyle  Glen Alpine Road
