On August 1, I found a female CONNECTICUT WARBLER approx. 2 km east of the Village of Val Gagne. The bird was not singing, nor calling and was located in a shrubby area near a bog. It came out for approx. 1 minute when I piched, then it disappeared in nearby bushes. I tried to relocate the bird over the next 5 days without success.
In the immediate area were fledged families of both Kestrels and Merlins. Val Gagne is a small village located off Highway 11 (near Iroquois Falls), between Kirkland Lake and Cochrane. For additional details on the exact location of the bird please contact me directly. Sorry if I did not post this sighting before; I did not have access to the internet while I was away.
