Very quiet (birdwise) this morning and poor light, but quite a few birders including visitors from other counties who may post complete lists. A few highlights: a Tennessee Warbler (identified by Sally Wech); very close views of a Solitary Sandpiper working a sandbar on Pine Lake; and my favorite of the day, a Common Nighthawk resting in a Walnut Tree next to the totem pole near the new playground.

happy birds to all,

Evelyn
