After a long search I relocated Shane's Connecticut Warbler at Six
Diamonds/Dreier-Offerman Park this afternoon. It was about 200 yards
north of where Shane spotted it, and along the same mowed path.
Also of note, 17 days after I first reported them, a pair of Whimbrels
continue at Dreier-Offerman. They were foraging in the grass at the
western-most field (exactly where I found them on 9/1). Very strange.
I wonder which of the numerous pollutants in that environment appeals
to their taste buds most ("Mmmm, benzene, we don't get this stuff in
the arctic").
Good birding,
Rob
