On my way home tonight I observed a female Yellow Warbler hopping around in my lane on Lincoln Ave just south of DeWitt Rd. in New Rochelle. There was alot of traffic at that time and I was able to slowly drive over it without harm as did two other drivers behind me. I pulled over to try to help it but unfortunately before I got to it it had been hit. I saw it jump up a few times as cars went over it, kind of like armadillos do, but it was hit by one of the cars who went over it. Another sad end to a beautiful bird. Andrew
