Bit of a slow start this am, but as the sun finally began to break
through, things picked up. However, birds appeared to be in scattered mixed
flocks, many not in the expected (or usual) locations!

Recorded were: Red-eyed Vireo (12), Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher (2), Rose-breasted
Grosbeak (1), Baltimore Oriole (2), House Wren (15), and 11 spp. of
warbler: Black-and-white (10), Black-throated Blue (13), Black-throated Green
(2), Blackburnian (2), Chestnut-sided (10), Canada (2), Magnolia (10),
Redstart (15), Parula (1), Prairie (1), Common Yellowthroat (7), also a
"baypoll" not seen well. Other species included Veery (4) and Ruby-throated
Hummingbird (6).
