Here is some more info about the Linwood Lake Townsend's Warbler: 1) In 5 hours of searching, only a few of us got a few brief glimpses of the bird Saturday - it will take time to find.
2) Per Cole Foster's original post, yes, it is quicker to come in from the south. We came in from the north which was a nice hike, tho. 3) 17 species of warblers were seen, which is a great fall total! Jeff Stephenson found a female BT Blue and I've heard of a couple male sightings, too. I heard that this is the best location to find BT Blues in migration, which is nice to know for those years I can't get up to Tettegouche in the breeding season.

If you've got a black 'necklace' and yellow below that, you probably have the bird.
