The Palm Beach birder that Steve mentioned was me (it's North Broward actually...but only about 200 yards from the Palm Beach county line so close enough!). I located the Connecticut Warbler about 9:30 this morning. It was just off the dirt road between the restrooms and the Pond Trail, on the opposite side of the dirt road from the restrooms. As Steve mentioned, I did wonder if this might be a second Connecticut because Robin said that hers was a male but it was kind of dull, whereas the one that I saw was an extremely brightly colored male. The gray head was very bright and the yellow was also very bright. So, I'm not sure if it was the same bird that Robin saw or not...but it was definitely a beautiful male Connecticut. Otherwise, I basically saw the same birds that Robin mentioned (although I missed that Canada Goose!). The only things I saw that Robin didn't mention was a Red-eyed Vireo, a Black-and-white Warbler, and two Palm Warblers.

: Right on schedule, we found a male Connecticut Warbler early this morning (5/7). As Toe, Pete and I were discussing Connecticuts' behavior, Toe spotted it. It was on the Pond Trail, about 10 yards north of intersect with dirt road that leads from the bike path restroom to the administration office.
:
: Other warblers: Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Blackpoll, American Redstart, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush and Common Yellowthroat.
:
: Also of interest: Canada Goose (!) flying north, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Gray Kingbird, Purple Martin, Veery, Indigo Bunting and Bobolink.
:
: Special treat was watching Northern Waterthrush, Chestnut-sided, American Redstart and Veery singing. Birds definitely moved out overnight, but the redstarts, yellowthroats and Cape Mays are too numerous to count. Greg Jones was also birding the park and will probably have additional species.
