Per Mike and MerryLynn;

The Blue-winged warbler was seen again this morning at the same location SE Lampert Street and SE Meadowbrook (Walmart) in College Place,WA.

Patience is needed when trying to locate this bird.

I walked toward the sound and spished again and a bright yellow bird flew across the road into the trees west of Meadowbrook. It kept chipping and moving around but I got several looks - yellow with black between eye and bill, dark wings/white wingbars, and then it landed directly above me and I saw the white vent/undertail. Wow a Blue-winged!! It then disappeared into the thick trees along the creek and went quiet. I ran home, woke up Mike, grabbed binoculars and camera and ran back down. After 30 min. I heard the bird chip again along the creek closer to Walmart - played Ipod with no luck. Mike then joined me and we covered the whole area with no luck - did find a couple Yellow Warblers to the far west by the autocenter.
