Usually when rain showers happens in the overnight or early morning hours, birds come down to wait out the heavy precipitation, a great opportunity for birders.
Most of these sightings occurred on Lookout Hill or the lower slopes. Butterfly Meadow saw the Summer Tanager. MOURNING WARBLER was heard on the north slope.OLIVE SIDED FC on the south slope along the mid path by the Maryland Monument.
