I was  rewarded!  Just before I had to go, I heard (for my first time ever)  
what I thought was a Mourning Warbler.  I was unsure if it might be a  
Chestnut-sided; so I manuevered over to try and see it but the bird seemed  
intent on singing from out-of-view.  It sang like this for several  
minutes, until I saw it leave the tree on the opposite side and fly across  
to the other side of the meadow area.  With my eyes, I could see it  was 
definitely not Chestnut-sided, so I walked to a vantage spot, and it  
popped into view about 7-8 feet up in a young tree, a bright and beautiful  
male.  Yes!!



Nice report Jeff! I could almost hear your heart pounding!!
