It appeared to be a warbler and confused by the banks of bright lights. It flew around for a few minutes in erratic directions at about the level of the lights, sometimes higher and sometimes lower. It finally flew above and beyond the lights in a northerly direction and out of sight. I wondered if this bird could have been navigating by the full moon and become confused by the lights. Is this a likely explanation? Is it a common occurrence? -- - Ron Mura, Boston, Mass. rmura@world.std.com
