Had a prothonotary warbler this morning at Connecticut Hill, near the intersection of Boylan, Lloyd Starks, and Connecticut Hill Roads. SSW of that intersection is a pond with a beaver dam at the south end, and the bird was singing from a willow across the pond. It is accessible via some informal trails heading south from that intersection which I don't know very well myself. Unfortunately, the bird was JOOB (just out of basin, probably by no more than a few hundred yards).
A couple photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50094151@N03/sets/72157645005809673 Also seen elsewhere at Ct Hill was a barred owl flying silently to perch briefly for good looks before gliding away. And my arrival at the intersection above was greeted by a hooded warbler, both aurally and visually. FYI this was a scouting trip with local "trailmaster" Dave Gislason for a possible CBC field trip this weekend. Stay tuned FMI.
