For many postings I am not sure where these places are located. I realize the MOS site and local chapter sites have some sites listed but not all. If convenient can the person posting include some sort of location info or at least the nearest street or town?Much appreciated!

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):
