I finally got some great looks and identifiable photos of a Connecticut Warbler this morning at Silvio Conte NWR-Fort River. Until this morning all my previous sightings of the species this year have been either fairly fleeting glimpses or just a hidden individual calling. Although certainly a real skulking species I usually get a couple somewhat cooperative individuals over the course of the fall migration so seeing one well today made my morning. Not only did I get great looks at one today but I actually found two for the morning (the second one was heard only as it called from a dense thicket near some goldenrod). So far for the fall I have now had seven different birds split between Silvio Conte, Arcadia and a single sighting at Orchard Hill. Besides the Connecticut Warblers I had eleven other warbler species today.
