We were able to find it tonight from around 5PM - 6PM. First saw it over on W River Road in the trees along the fence on the bike path. Did not get a good look here, but later found it on the far east side of the park in a ~20' high oak. There is a nest in the oak tree that the warbler was seen in, but not sure if it was the next of this bird. Saw several other birders and we all got a nice look at this bird. Photo posted to the MOU main page from this evening.
