   This morning I tried to find the Orange-crowned Warbler seen by Fred Shaffer yesterday, but without success.  It was an interesting, though rainy walk there.

Great Blue Heron  3
Great Egret  1
Green Hron  2
Canada Goose  260 dropped in while I was there
Wood Duck  8
Sharp-shinned Hawk  1
Red-shouldered Hawk  1
Lesser Yellowlegs  1 flying around looking for a place to land
Phoebe  2
Marsh Wren  1
Robin  50
Magnolia Warbler  1
Black-throated Green Warbler  1
Northern Waterthrush  1
Yellowthroat  4
Rose-breasted Grosbeak  1
Unidentified passerine  1 - I had a two-second obstructed silhouette view of a bird flying with the robins.  It was trailing something long from its rear.  Whether it was a robin with something long attached to it or a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher I don't know.  A rain storm blew through shortly afterward and the flock scattered.
