Bronx MacGillivray's Warbler -YES : )

 I tried again for this rare warbler to our area.  I had a hunch that it might pop up in "the weedy lot" so I focused most of my time there.  After a long time I heard some chipping - I assumed the bird was around.  The chipping soon increased into rapid chirps.  I saw the bird running from a patch of plants and it ran under a pine tree.  I tried to get 2 other birders on it that were checking by the parking lot, but could not find the bird again.  Later on (same, next day?) a Townsend's Warbler was reported in the general area.  The MacGillvray's Warbler was a lifer for me - nice way to end 2023.
