From Klemens Gasser:
Dear Peter,
Late afternoon I had the great pleasure to meet Rob Bate and shortly after my first Connecticut Warbler.
The wonderful bird was at the same location where it has been seen before about 10’ before the mulch trail branches off the asphalted trail. Looking east over the fence where it is bend down in an area covered by ivy. It came up to 3’ above the ground repeatedly as close as 4 to 5’ and offered extended great views, disappearing into the ivy in between. Sometimes just the head clearing the ivy. My preferred was the Connecticut Warbler, frontally to us, walking down a branch, setting one foot in front of the other, just like a model but not as skinny but immensely elegant. It was very exiting! I will dream big black discs with a white line around them tonight.
Later in the evening there were up to 8 Night Hawks over Nethermead.
Best,
Klemens

Oporornis knocks twice!
Klemen Gasser and I had the Connecticut Warbler staked out but Klemens was the first to spot it to the left of the bottom of the woodchip path leading to Lookout Hill deep in the brush there. This is just below the spot you saw it yesterday. I hope my photos will work if Steve Nanz didn't get shots this morning. The second two are mood shots showing where the bird was walking around.
KB Note: photos later here

Hi Peter and Rob,
We had a very good group today of over 20 folks including several from NYCBird activity was spotty, but we had 59 species with a few special sightings. The 14 species of warblers included a Mourning near Rick's place along with 2 Wilson's showing well there and one other on the peninsula.
Of the 3 species of flycatchers, Least was well seen.
Of the 4 species of vireo, Philadelphia showed itself very well near MD monument.
No sign of or reports of the Conwar...
Thanks to Dennis's sharp eyes we had a perched Common Nighthawk in the open also near Rick's place.
All in all a very pleasant day.Best regards,
Tom
