Jim Wilkinson and I walked the Gywnns Falls Trail at lunch today and found an adult male Connecticut Warbler!� If anyone is interested in looking for it, park at the trailhead on Washington Blvd and walk down the trail to the bridge crossing the creek.� It was on the right, just before the bridge.�

We were looking at sparrows, when I heard a "zeep" warbler flight call behind us.� Being November, I called out "Blackpoll" because that is by far the most likely warbler with that flight call type.� Needless to say I was shocked when I saw the bird sitting up in a tree, out in the open.� I was even more surprised that it was an adult male!

I would have even predicted a MacGillivray's over a Connecticut in November!

Good birding!
