Peter:
I had a very early morning walk (0600-0900 hrs), looking for more warblers.  The best was 1 male Kentucky Warbler (photos taken -email them later-), by the Lower Pool.  Also 1 Nashville at the Vale.  13 sps of warblers before 9 am, was a plus.  Also seen by the Rose Garden, a single White-crowned Sparrow.
