Here's a so-so recording I got of the Connecticut Warbler at Blendon this
morning around 10am.  It (and the rest of the birds in the area) were a bit
more cooperative shortly after I made this recording, however I was out of
storage space and had to settle for standing and just listening to the bird
(the last of the eastern warblers for me!)

It sounds like it hasn't been observed this afternoon, so hopefully it
sings a bit more today and/or stays around tonight to fuel up for one more
day before flying north.

Good birding,
