Observation details

**Mega; also first county record in eBird. Came in to chickadee/screech on the railroad bed trail by the thickets to the right of where the phragmites turn to low cattails (41.799082, -71.123982). Stayed for a few minutes flying around in the tops of the short oaks that surround the area before flying down the trail towards the parking lot. Possibly it flew off with a departing flock of robins, but I wasn't entirely sure. There's a lot of good habitat in the area, so it could be anywhere. Any of the tree islands out in the marsh, the cedar areas bordering the marsh, or the surrounding woods could be a possible spot. Accessible by the entrance on Hart St. Another possible area worth checking is a small parking lot off of rt 138 (41.799033, -71.131615).
