I had a Wilson's Warbler this morning near the Wolcott statue feeder in Lake Park about a half hour ago. I literally ran home to get my camera and was able to get a couple bad shots of it but you can see it is a Wilsons from the photos. Not much else happening in the park except the usual residents.

If documented (esp. with photos) and accepted by the WSO Records Committee, this Wilson's Warbler of Nov. 25th would be record late for Wisconsin. There is but one previous November record for the Wilson's.

-- Bob Domagalski, Menomonee Falls

-- six records beyond October 10th
1. Oct. 15, 1949 - Rock, Melva T. Maxson
2. Oct. 17, 1959 - Vernon, Viratine E. Weber
3. Oct. 17, 1973 - La Crosse, Jerome R. Rosso
4. Oct. 26, 1995 - Ozaukee, Jesse J. Peterson
5. Oct. 26, 2002 - Manitowoc, Aaron Holschbach
6. Nov. 23, 1972 - LaCrosse, Frederick Z. Lesher

These are my really bad shots of the Wilson's from today at Lake Park. I couldn't get it to come out of the woods for me. When I first saw it and didn't have my camera it was right in front of me giving great poses. Some day I will learn to always carry my camera. I was actually surprised I was able to relocate it after coming back to photograph it. I also had a Ruby-crowned Kinglet that I forgot to mention.

Please verify the ID. I am pretty much 100% on it but wouldn't mind a second opinion or two especially if it has a chance at a record.
