[CT Birds] WESTERN TANAGER (Yes - briefly), OC WARBLER (Yes)

[REBECCA I HOROWITZ]

The Western Tanager was seen at the Hammonasset Mohegan 1 campground for about 5 minutes.  It then flew to the line of cedars described in yesterday's post, where it was flushed by a Northern Harrier.  Time was about 11:30 am.  No other sightings from 7:45 am till then. 

The Orange-crowned Warbler was seen a few yards away at Tunxis and a bit further on, at the Hammo entrance road median.  This morning was very quiet but the usuals (2+Fox Sparrows, 2+ Pine Warblers, partial albino Robin) were present.  

A long vigil, but worth it.  Back to work.
