A male "LAWRENCE'S WARBLER" was also found nearby. Directions to the "LAWRENCE'S WARBLER" - on the west side of Meadville Road, south of the houses at Owens Road, follow a path cut through the grass field, then turn left onto a wooded trail that leads to a small stream, where the warbler was located.
