Thanks in advance, > >Rick Sussman >Ashton,MD >warblerick@aol.com It was reported on Wednesday (from the VA Bird list-Serv) although no postings on Thursday (6-13) which may have more to do with the rain than anything else. Several people actually saw the bird Wednesday; many more have heard it (including me on Tuesday). It is in a pretty predictable area - Take the first left after entering the boardwalk, go maybe 100 feet to an area where the boardwalk widens. It has been on both sides of the boardwalk. It has been singing rather quietly at times, as it to itself, and at other times is bit more forcefully. Careful listening is in order. It has been heard mostly in the mornings and evenings.
