Note: This is a bit late of course, but the problems we had with these reports reaching Comcast users should be behind us.

From Patrick Comins: 04/27/11 - Southbury, Bent of the River Audubon Sanctuary -- a perfect Golden-winged Warbler song singing from across the river in the early successional fields just south and across the river from the red barn, first found by Ken Elkins). The are where the song originated is out of bounds and unreachable. It isn't uncommon to hear Blue-wings singing Golden-winged songs, particularly at the Bent, but this one is spot on for a GwWa. Worth keeping an ear and eye out for if any of you are visiting the Bent. Unfortunately, no one has gotten bins on it yet.
