~ WOW! \u00a0CONNECTICUT WARBLER<\/strong> at Winding Waters Trail, 9\/23\/16.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I went out to the Winding Waters Trail at Walkill River National Wildlife Refuge two times today, hoping to relocate one of the two Connecticut Warblers\u00a0that Rob Stone had there this week. I was there in\u00a0the morning, but unfortunately\u00a0there was no sign of the bird(s).<\/p>\n

I ended up going back in the evening, as I was walking the trail a bird popped up out of the underbrush and perched about 4 feet up. I looked in my binoculars and saw the prominent eye ring and began taking photos. It was a CONNECTICUT WARBLER! The bird quickly returned to the underbrush and I never saw or heard it again. This is\u00a0a life bird for me (#370), and also, more excitingly, my 200th bird in Orange County this year<\/strong>! I, of course, wish I’d gotten better photos, but really, I’m happy to have gotten any shots at all. Huge thanks once again to Rob Stone, what an excellent\u00a0bird!<\/p>\n
