I did a quick walk through this morning at Hickory Hill and was blessed with the amazingly good fortune of seeing a CONNECTICUT WARBLER. It jumped up onto a low branch, did a head scratch, called, and then disappeared again into the tangle. I heard it call once again, but never even saw a glimpse of it moving again. The 5-second look and call made it unmistakable. I marked the spot with an x of sticks on the side of the trail if anyone wants to look for it. I saw it about 8:15 am, on the usual path of the bird club warbler walks, near the first bridge that crosses the creek (entering trail from conklin ln entrance by the parking lot). Life bird for me.
