[cayugabirds-l] Golden-winged Warbler in Brooktondale

[Melissa Groo]

About an hour ago, I had the great fortune to stumble on a male
Golden-winged Warbler along Bald Hill Road just south of Grove School Road.
I was sitting in my car, photographing redstarts when suddenly a bird flew
to the edge of the road near me and perched on a low branch. A brilliant
warbler I’d never seen before. I could barely hear his high pitched trill
when he sang. He was only present for about 5 minutes, seemed to be moving
through. I have photos and audio of him, i.d. confirmed by Merlin. Will
share those on Facebook and eBird later.
