Hi Peter,

Beautiful day today, and lots of good birds. The park was turned around from its state in the last two weeks: many of the good birds were in the North with fewer in the South.

Birds were still somewhat spotty, with many birds north of the vale, and not many past that prior to the South end, where there were some more flocks; so we did a lot of walking.

Highlights include a brief view of the Yellow-breasted Chat at the south end (thanks to Isabel), not including which, we had 14 species of warblers including 2 or 3 Tennessees Warblers, several Rose-breasted Grosbeak males, the Great Cormorant (they're still here...), Wood and Swainson's Thrush, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and lots more. 

Here's the list and a few photos.

Best regards,

Tom
