Still present (and easier to see without the heat shimmer) at 5 pm. Thanks, Jim, for the directions and everyone else for the updates so I could get on these (lifer) birds.

There were lots of killdeer, two or three snipe, and mourning doves. And for some reason us two old folks walking the field attracted a very large kettle of curious and apparently hopeful turkey and black vultures, which ventured quite close. But no sandpipers of any description.

> ...emphasis on "possible." I have no idea what I saw last night, but it wasn't a yellowthroat. Too big, and had a complete yellowish eyering and tail-pumping behavior. No streaking or wingbars. I described it to another birder this morning. I ran into her again as she was leaving, and she described a very similar bird in the same area, but also confirmed a grayish head and Ovenbird-like walk. All of this was along Minebank Run between the two bridges. When I had it, it was on the north side of the stream, to the right of bluebird box #17. She had it along the path on the south side of the stream. A 2.5-hour search revealed nothing when I tried to relocate it. 'Tis the season for amazingly frustrating warblers.

We have initiated at survey to monitor the birds at Adkins and have divided the arboretum into 11 areas. I will be reporting here with totals of all areas birded.

> Morning all,
> A few nice migrants seen this morning included a cute and tiny Least Flycatcher, seen well in good light (and in poor light) as it moved all around the yard, both high and very low (in a dogwood, below eye-level in full sun). It was very active, going from a high perch in bad light in the far backyard, to excellent light down low in the side yard, actively "flycatching", and at one point being chased by a chickadee!. Also seen were an angry Scarlet Tanager, chasing bluebirds from the grape vines up high in the back, an unexpected flyover RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, heading NNW pretty early, as well as a large flock of flyby Cedar Waxwings, Pileated WP, Downy WP, a pair of White-breasted Nuthatches as well as most of the regulars. No warblers though, but it was a quick walk as I had to leave early.
