I showed up early at Blendon Woods Metro Park this morning- I was hoping to
see the Mourning Warbler that the McNultys had reported seeing yesterday. 
Little did I know that I would hold this bird in my hands.  At 8:30 AM
inside the north duck blind, I found this bird (a male) trying to get out,
fluttering against the window towards the sun.  I cupped it in my two hands
and released it out the viewing slit, and it flew off over the pond heading
northwest.  

I posted a picture of this beautiful bird here:

If anyone is interested, I'll post about this experience on my blog (with
more pictures) next Sunday June 2nd at the link in my signature (I post once
a week, having burned out on posting more frequently in the past).

Good birding, everyone!
