I went over to campus this afternoon to see if I could find this bird as well, since I haven't seen one before. I thought it might be a long shot, since it has been a couple of days, but the weather was so nice it seemed that a bike ride was in order. I walked upstream from the lower footbridge, up to the point where the other footbridge used to be (when did it come down?), but no sign of the wayward warbler. I did see a couple of hermit thrushes, so that was good. A couple of rabbits were hopping around in the grass, munching contentedly. That spot (where the bird was originally reported) used to be, way back in the day, a tennis court that was flooded in the winter time for people to skate on. I remember skating there as a kid, long before they had indoor rinks. No sign of the tennis court/skating rink remains, but the fireplace that was in the warming hut still stands. It is looking a little worse for the wear, but I suspect it could still hold a nice fire. On the way back, still no sign of the wayward warbler. The memories that came back were great, though.
