Keith/Jim
Has anyone found Blue-winged Warbler at Mears in recent years? I ask, because Charlie Kucera and I atlased the area extensively for five years (2002-2006), and not once did we find a Blue-winged Warbler there. The convent was also covered extensively during the same period, and again, no blue-wings.
