Hi Peter,

We had six people in all today, including one visitor from Ireland.  It was chilly and not birdy at first, but we began to see more birds when the sun came out and it warmed up.  Highlights were seven species of warblers, including a Wilson's and Northern Waterthrush, and nine species of sparrows.  We looked for the Lark Sparrow, but weren't able to find it.  All in all, a pleasant day of birding.
