We wondered about the wisdom of looking for this bird on this very windy day, 
but it was right where it was supposed to be, near the intersection of Dunker 
Church Road and Mansfield Avenue, the northwest corner of the bloody 
cornfield. It posed obligingly in the top of the largest maple at the house near 
the corner.

Also in the area were a singing and posing Vesper Sparrow, Horned Lark, and 
Grasshopper Sparrow, singing Field Sparrows, and many Bluebirds, along with 
more plebian species.

(LW: there was no disoriented Canada Warbler hanging around)
