[wisb] ALERT: Yellow-throated Warbler, Lake Park Locust Ravine, Milwaukee

Sorry about that last email.  Apparently I have some issues to work out 
with sending emails from my phone to the list.

I was writing from Locust Ravine in Lake Park, Milwaukee to say that at 
2:10pm I found a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER at the south end of the ravine 
(see eBird checklist below for description and full species list).  I 
had great looks for 20 minutes.  I last heard it at 2:30 as it was 
moving north in the ravine toward the bridge.  Fifteen minutes later the 
skies opened up with pea-sized hail, lightening, and strong wind gusts.  
Hopefully the bird is still in the ravine and can be relocated this 
afternoon.
