[Birdnet] Magnolia Warbler still at Deseret Ranch

O.K., I suppose that if after all these years birding hasn't driven me  
insane - hold those comments, please ;-) - then it probably won't. But  
times like this make me wonder . . .

Last Saturday, I found a male Magnolia Warbler near the office at  
Deseret Ranch. On Monday, a good-sized group of birders searched the  
same area for about two hours with no luck. I've checked the area  
every day since while doing field work on the ranch.  Nothing. Zilch.  
Nada. I turned up a Red-eyed Vireo yesterday, but no signs of the  
Magnolia for a week.

So today, at about 11 a.m., I step outside the office for a quick peak  
before heading to SLC, and the third bird I see (after Common  
Yellowthroat and Gray Catbird) is the Magnolia Warbler. I have no idea  
where he was hiding all week, but he's still here.

Really, I don't think I'm crazy yet . . .
