Hello Bird People,

Tied hard but could not find the Worm Eating Warbler although others
did see it today. Looked from the north end off Bryn Mawr for 3 hours
without success but 30 min after I left the same people who I had
searched with for hours did find the Warbler. My only consolation was
seeing the PRAIRIE WARBLER which had also been here yesterday. Two
days in a row with a Prairie Warbler in 2 different counties must be
some kind of an achievement.
