I went to Riverbend Park this afternoon to see if I could relocate the
Connecticut Warbler that Donald Sweig reported yesterday. After about an hour
of searching the meadow, at 1:30, I got a brief but very clear glimpse of the
bird in the thick grass of the meadow, close to spot that Donald described. My
thanks to him for his post.
