Some birders from West Virginia saw a strong candidate for the 
Connecticut Warbler being chased away by a Winter Wren before I arrived, 
but we were unable to relocate the bird. When I left around 1:30 PM, the 
warbler had not been seen to my knowledge. Two FOS Rusty Blackbirds and 
a Swamp Sparrow provided some consolation. Yellow-rumped Warblers were 
abundant.

Good birding!
