Probable
immature (A) and possible other individuals (B and C) in a flock of at
least five birds about halfway between Virgin Gorda and St. Croix,
Virgin Islands, 8 October 2002. Photos © by Gregory Kunkel. Apparently
the second record for the Virgin Islands (one previous report from St. Croix), these birds were observed at night as they were illuminated by
the deck lights of the east-bound cruise ship MV Century. The birds
were visible for about a half hour as they flew above the ship. One apparently exhausted individual (A) was photographed on the deck at 11:12 pm. The identity of the other individuals remains uncertain but may
well also be Connecticut Warblers. For additional information aboutg these
birds (including a map plotting location) visit Gregory Kunkel's website.
