From Jackson Childs:
05/31/14 - Chaplin, Pumpkin Hill Road -- While looking for Cerulean
warblers today (saw a couple). I was on the trail at the second green
gate going north. I had a brief but unmistakable look at a
Yellow-throated warbler. Gray back, bold black face marking with white
line above and behind, yellow throat. No doubt about it. I was so
stunned I was unable to take a picture fast enough. I was not able to
re-locate and I didn't hear it sing. Presumably a very late vagrant?
This was about a hundred yards from the road.

From Joseph Cala:
05/31/14 - Woodbridge, Woodbridge Community Gardens -- 7:30 AM;
Olive-soded Flycatcher present.

From Peter DeGennaro:
05/31/14 - Woodbridge, Woodbridge Community Gardens -- My sister
Lauren and I had the Olive-sided Flycatcher northwest of the chestnut
trees on top of a dead tree as of 10:15. Also had a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo flyover near the garden plots.

From Ernie Harris:
05/31/14 - Bolton Backyard -- 6-7 AM; Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

From Dan Rottino:
05/31/14 - Kent, Housatonic River WMA -- 3:00 PM; A skulky
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT seen well from the path.
