Hi --

Did WRP and Brookside today on my own, Barry had a Dr's appointment. Not a bad morning although very cold early, many birds were quiet. Had several Firsts of Season, and about 9 species of warbler although I was gripped off by Rae and Woody Dubois with a singing male Cape May in WRP. Arghh! The Green Herons are back at Pine Lake and Brookside, and I saw *my* first Ruby-throats, Acadian FC and Scarlet Tanager of the season, always nice. 61 species in all.
