Keir Randall choose the good spot at Lookout Hill's "switchback Trail" top trail head with reports of YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO,YELLOW-THROATED VIREO & BLACKPOLL WARBLER.The cuckoo was out in the open,perched on a maple branch that Keir was able to phone photo.
FORSTER's TERN still like the Lake as one seen by Keir.
Though too late to see these birds,beset by sinuses that prevented an early start,me and Chris Laslowski were able to see on the switchback trail aadult male TENNESSEE WARBLER feeding in a Pokeweed.
At least we got something worthy.
