Hi Birders, Nathan Miller and I refound the Yellow-throated Warbler previously found northwest of Elmira on Nov. 11 by Darlene Lamarre. This bird had been looked for after Darlene's initial sighting, without success; however, today Darlene, again refound the bird (this morning) in the initial location she had found it on the 11th. No doubt the bird has been present the entire time.
Nathan and I went to the same location at 12:30 and found it shortly after arriving. The bird appears to be moving with a large mixed flock of birds (DEJU, BCCH, GCKIs, etc.) and we found it moving loosely with this group of birds. The bird appeared quite active, chipping a fair bit, and was mostly low to the ground, catching insects. Directions: (my eBird checklist is pinned to the exact location we saw the bird from: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S40771394) >From Kitchener-Waterloo, head north on Hwy. 85 towards St. Jacobs/Elmira. At the roundabout at the north end of St. Jacobs, take the 2nd exit and stay on Hwy. 85/Arthur St. towards Elmira. Driving into Elmira turn left on Hwy. 85/Listowel Road (the first street lights). After ~2km turn right onto Floradale Road. Take Floradale Road past Hwy. 86. The parking lot will be on your right (east) about 1.4km north of Hwy. 86. The bird was in the nearest woodlot along the rail-trail to the east of the parking lot, ~200m down the path.
