- Comments: "Spotted by MCHL on the same tree that hosted a Connecticut Warbler early in September. Situation was similar to the time we saw a Mississippi Kite just as we were talking about how much we wanted to see a Kite. This time, giddy about the absurdity of the situation, we took some photos as the bird chased a few bugs, sat up in the tree once, and then walked around under the tree (coming into the open on foot several times). Behavior-wise the bird seemed all CT warbler. Later, upon showing the photos to RF and some of Michael's crew, we were told the bird looked much better for first winter mourning warbler. Oops! I am going to look at some pictures tonight - in the meantime here are the pics:"
