I had an adult Little Blue at the east end of the lake at 5:15 this evening, seen from the dike along the southern perimeter of the lake. The bird was first seen along the vegetated edge of the lake, then it flew up to a post along the dike, then back to the water's edge. It was flagged by eBird.
Most of the waterfowl reported yesterday by Sean McCandless were still present.

Really nice evening. The Lincoln's were at the other side of the pond in
the low wetland grasses as were all most of the ducks. The Ruddys were near
the front of the pond and I had the Nashville near the parking lot on the
edge of the woods. All the other warblers were along the road heading to
the other side of the pond. The tree line was just crawling again.
