A record to end all records: on Oct. 15, Harding Huber found a chat flying around inside the Dunwoodv Institute basement in Minneapolis. He tried to capture it for banding purposes and on several occasions he was close enough to almost brab the bird bare-handed. The chat finally escaped through an open window, however. This occurred on the last day of a week-long warm spell with southerly winds that undoubtedly brought some migrants back north again. The following day, however, a week-long cold spell began, quieting insect activity and probably affecting the demise of many of these late-lingering warblers.
