Ok, maybe I'm just caught up in the fever or the Clariten is
causing me to hallucinate, but I'm 95% sure I heard a
Connecticut Warbler singing in the backyard this morning.
It was between 6:30 and 7:00am and I had been up since
6am looking and listening (and sneezing and blowing my nose).
I had just stopped looking when I heard from out the window,
one clear, close song... then nothing. I never saw the
bird nor heard it again. The song was hesitant at first,
the sped up near the end. I thought CT at the time and,
after comparison with the Stokes CD, I'm even more convinced.
I'm on a ridge with a long strip of woods running behind the
house along the top and backside of the ridge. Mainly oak,
hickory, cherry, magnolia with a thick understory of dogwood,
redbud, may apples, poison ivy and various other, unidentified
plants... basically, a machette is a good thing to have when
walking in these woods... except for the poison ivy part.
I just wish I could have seen it or, at least, heard it
again. I'll try to find him again.
