One photographed by Hughes at Warren W.T.P. 6/26 and 7/1 would normally be considered a record late migrant, but was inexplicably joined by 3 more 7/2 — were these three record early fall migrants, record late spring migrants, or non-breeding birds? Subsequent reports from this location (all by Hughes) 7/7 (3), 7/16 (4), 7/18 (4), 7/24 (2) suggests the possibility of a few non-breeding birds summering at Warren.
