04/26/2009 Yellow-throated Warbler
***** Birding By Ear A COA workshop
***** Leaders: TBA
***** Place: Audubon Center at Bent of the River, Southbury
***** Date: Sunday, June 7th
***** Time: 7am
Note: We had only negtative reports today from birders trying to see
the Western Meadowlark that has been at Sherwood Island State Park
this past week. However, the model airplane field was active all day,
which would make it very hard to find the bird if it is still around.
