Of course, I cannot rule out the Nashville but I did have
Peterson in one hand and a 10x binoc in the other so I am
reasonably certain that it was a Connecticut. The grayish
throat and bright white eye-ring were the key field marks.
In response to your earlier query, I would say the dorsal
plumage was brownish in the full morning sun.
Did you have a companion this morning? When I headed back
I hoped to catch up with the two I saw and tell them about
the good sightings but they must have gone south while I went
north until the dirt bike trail ran out, then came back
down along the west side of the power line cut.
Overall, I rank Wakefield up with Eakin and Accotink, although
the latter has more lake and shore birds.
