I birded the Fenway from 10:00-1:00. As I was walking down Row K, near the main entrance to the victory gardens, I flushed a warbler from the weeds in the row itself. (not from someone's garden plot) I could see that it had an olive-yellow back. It flew into the plot next to the spot where i saw it. I waited for three minutes until the bird showed itselj and revealed that it was a Connecticut Warbler. I was excited to see my first WALKING Connecticut! Great looks! I later heard it calling from Row V or Row W, in the wildest, densest of all the plots. Good Luck
