Today was not as good as yesterday, but.  At the Vale, the 2 species of Orioles, Parulas, Blue-headed Vireo, and at Nelly's Lawn, a FOS: Eastern Kingbird.

The rest of my walk was kind of quiet and slow, bird activity speaking.  With 7 species of warblers for the day, I was happy enough, but a surprise was waiting for me near the Endale Arch Bridge, a lonely Blue-winged Warbler.
By the way, this morning at my backyard, around 7:30 am, I saw a single Yellow-throated Vireo.
