Folks,
Carol & I visited Newport today, 11:30 - 5. We spent some time dodging
rain. We concentrated our efforts behind the HMSC, looking for the Catbird,
2:20 - 4:25 PM. We never heard it sing. Carol saw it first. I finally saw
it in the thick bushes west of the south end of the boardwalk at the south
end of the HMSC trail.
