>Shawn gave an excellent description of the bird in yesterday's report 
>which I will not repeat.  The Virginia's Warbler seen today was first 
>found (again) by Pierre Howard around 9:15AM about 200 yards from the 
>upper parking lot.  It was on the downhill side of the road, working 
>about 30 - 40 feet from the edge down very low.  The bird was in a 
>flock of feeding warblers (staying close to a HOWA).  The flock 
>consisted of the HOWA, EAWP, CSWA, MAWA, WBNU, TEWA, CACH.  The bird 
>was seen by CH, PH, and Russell for several seconds.  The bird 
>disappeared.  It was relocated about 30 minutes later in the same 
>flock about 500 yards further down the road still on the downhill 
>side.  This time it was seen for several minutes foraging on the 
>ground and within 1 foot of the ground.  It was seen by CH, PH, BZ, 
>and DZ.  The bird was foraging and flicking it's tail for several 
>minutes, then flew deeper dow the hill and was not seen again today, 
>although many observers attempted later in the day.
