The Cuckoo was found along Well Drive near the picnic tables Lamppost 249) .it Sat out in the open and even preened. A great photo by Janet Zinn is on the BBC Facebook page.
Reports of AMERICAN Redstart, Magnolia WARBLER , Black throated Green Chestnut Sided warblers were earlier single sightings ,whereas Lookout Hill summit meadows were unexpectedly quiet just after sunset to 8 am. But fortunately later for the BBC group with patience were rewarded with a moderate scattere production of birds here and there.
See the list below post. There will be more days to come ..
