I think 52 species might be a record for me (someone who doesn't bird mornings!)

I noticed you left LOWA off your master list, so that should be up to 22 for the park today.

Confident I saw a Blackpoll by the mulch, but not 100%, and I'd say about %70 on the Maggie just before I met up with you at Esdale.

Found WOME in the Vale (thanks to Kristin Costello? I think that's who tipped me off it was there…. Otherwise I would have not bothered with the binoculars since it was jumping around like a Yellowthroat.

3 distinct thrushes in the Vale this evening drinking from water puddle… one was a very strong candidate for Bicknell's.

Orchards and Baltimores shared the same branch in the setting sunlight.

Thanks for your help today. Below is a condensed version of my eBird list.
