I briefly birded part of the Ten Mile Creek section of Black Hill this 
afternoon. Highlights included an immature or female Hooded Warbler, a 
fall-plumaged Chestnut-sided Warbler, a Northern Parula, and lovely 
looks at a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Other birds included two Eastern 
Kingbirds, several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, two Hermit Thrushes and a 
Wood Thrush. At least two older Northern Cardinal fledglings were still 
begging from their parents.

I also had an immature or female American Redstart at Little Bennett 
earlier this week.
