The latest on Swainson Warbler

The latest regarding the Brooklyn Bridge Park megararity is that the warbler moved approximately 100 yards north of it's last position the pier 5 upland area of the past two days. 

It was found and more birders were rewarded. Check the area between pier 4 and 5 . Learn it's song if possible 
The primary song, sung by males, is a loud, cascading teer, teer, teer, we-tee-widow, or similar, often likened to the song of Louisiana Waterthrush. An alternate song, seldom heard, is a jumble of twittering notes, recalling an American Goldfinch's song.

- Comments: "Continuing mega-rarity found by Jeff Gramm four days ago, a little north of this morning’s coordinates, just south of the bathrooms. Not-very-skulky pot-bellied plain warbler with a rufous cap and dark eyeline. Watched him preen, pick through the leaf litter to snatch bugs, and chip for several minutes and also sing a few sweet-sounding phrases. Audio of that sustained chipping."
