Observation details
***very rare on the north shore, even in suitable habitat & one of my most sought after birds for this location. Found by Brent B. When I showed up, Brent was viewing the bird which was sitting in the marsh, but it soon flew atop a tree in the hedgerow where it proceeded to sing for a long time. Eventually, it gave up and flew all the way across the marsh to the top of a tree near the golf course where it could be faintly heard singing. Very well documented, photos and audio recordings.
