Hi Everyone, 

I left work a little early today and spent 4:00 p.m. until dusk exploring the area near where Tom Crowe spotted a probable BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER yesterday. I was joined by Mikey Lutmerding and Jo Anna Leachman in the late afternoon. 

Although we didn't relocate the bird, it could certainly still be around, and I hope others will also try to re-find it over the coming days. Of course there are plenty of precedents for songbirds sticking around, and this is one worth investing some time on. With all of the great edge habitat here, Tom's warbler is probably not the only rarity sneaking around the park in mid-October.

Here's the park's web site, which includes the address and directions:

Remain vigilant! It's Rarity Season! :)
