Saw the E mail there were warblers at Alley Pond, but today there was not much unusual birds to be seen. However, I saw what I am quite sure was an immature male Morning Warbler in the brush. The bird was on the ground, or perched low, and I spent about 20 minutes watching it, trying to photo and figure out what it was. It was only about 30 feet away, and did not move or fly actively, spending most of the time perched in the low brush or on the ground, occasionally scratching the ground. I am not too familiar with Alley Pond Park, but the bird was off the walk way going south to the pond, at to the right of top of a long flight of stairs. I know this bird is not supposed to be here this early spring, but with lack of a wing bars,no eye stripe, no discernable eye ring, olive greenish back, plain belly with a trace of spots marking on its chest, I don't what else it could be.
