Hi Everyone,
�
This afternoon I found an epic three Connecticut Warblers at Southwest Area Park. The first was a bright juvenile at the entrance of the wooded trail (playground area). The entrance right behind the covered pavilion he perched up briefly in a willow oak right on the path. Later, I had two birds rummaging in the ground-cover vine under the FIRST open black locust stand on the trail that runs back behind the airfield. The birds simultaneously flew up in the black locusts � TWO CONWs that lacked yellow in the throat. I photo�d all.
�
There was good migrant activity, including an (at the time) un-justly overshadowed adult male Cape May at the entrance road to the airfield.

Here is the photo of�a bright juv and possible adult-female or hatch-year male (Thanks Frode for the age analysis):
