Hey all,

I was fortunate enough to be with the original group that saw the ATFL
yesterday morning, and even though the views were definite, I went back in
the afternoon with my mom to try and document the bird with my camera. As
luck would have it, within minutes of arriving at the location of our
initial observations, the ATFL flew into view. I managed to digiscope a few
imgaes, which I believe are fairly diagnostic. They can be seen here:

It should be noted that I did not hear the bird call/sing the entire time I
viewed it. I last saw it flying east of the meadow, and it seems to be
covering quite a bit of ground. Good luck to those who are searching for
it.

Good Migrations,
