This morning, Melinda and I walked around Schooley Mill.  As we parked, 
an Orchard Oriole sang to us, and again
at the end of our 2 hour walk.  Several tens of Prairie warblers were 
present, as well as many Yellowthroats. Catbirds and
Wood thrushes  were back, and we spotted Blue headed Vireos  and Hooded 
warblers.   A few parulas were also heard.
Otherwise, the usual birds were there, including Wood Ducks, eastern 
bluebirds, goldfinches, etc.
When we returned home, the big surprise was a Rose Breasted Grosbeak at 
our feeder, the first in over 20 years!
