I had at least 3 Connecticuts singing off of CR 431 in Itasca County this morning. I hiked into the bog and had visuals on 2 of the birds. The easiest way to get there is to take 433 west from the intersection of 2 & 65 SE of Warba. Go 2 3/4 miles to the T at CR 72. Turn south and go for 2 1/4 miles and you'll be on 431 and at the bog. The Connecticuts were toward the north end of the bog adjacent to the aspen higher ground. Palm Warblers, both kinglets, and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers were also present--and I had several Lincoln's Sparrows out there a couple of weeks ago.
Some people have told me that Common Yellowthroats can sing a Connecticut-like song, but I've never had any problems with them.
