Albeit a slower bird day, nevertheless the good stuff comes through. There's alot to report and for me too much info to absorb. Ill stress some highlights and that should inspire you to get out and find time.

Max Epstein subbed for Tom Stephenson and picked up seamlessly good production. Among his listed species, 2 Lincoln sparrows billed top prize along with Yellow throated vireo,Worm eating and blue winged warblers. His warbler list hit 16 species. See his list in a previous post.

A Yellow billed cuckoo reported by Benjamin Forbes showed up at Nethermead North edge by Center Drive. All oaks were mainstays for warblers.For example, the European turkey oak in front of the Well house had a cape may warbler according to Ann Miller.
