This morning Janice Chadwell and John Henderson came over from 8 - 9:30 am to try to get the Connecticut Warbler for a state bird. We were successful in hearing the bird singing for a few minutes, but we never did see it. There was also several other great migrants around, some of the highlights: Cape May Warbler - at least 1 Blackpoll Warbler - 4+ Prairie Warbler - 3+ Ovenbird - 1 Northern Waterthrush - 1 Baltimore Oriole - 1 Scarlet Tanager - 2+ Summer Tanager - 4+ After they left, I went back down to the Connecticut area to see if he was still there, no luck on finding him again, but on the way I did have a gorgeous male Blackburnian Warbler and a male American Redstart. Good Birding!
