The Kentucky Warbler was seen and heard at 0830 today. I then took advantage of the beautiful weather and went off for an hour trail run and upon my return the bird sang from a perch 10 ft above the trail. And so without my glasses nor my binocs I was treated to the best view of the day! The DEC parking lot is on the south side of the Rte 25A bypass, 0.1 miles east of the junction (traffic light) with Veterans Way. Head due south on the wide dirt path. My close encounter occurred about 150 yards along this path. Earlier it was singing on the east side of the path.(During a lull in traffic I heard the bird from the parking lot!). There is a bike path that heads east a bit farther along which might get you closer to the bird. For those of you not familiar with the these woods, I heartily recommend it, the area around the DEC lot 0.5 miles west is always worth a visit (except fot the ticks). Great find Richard!
