Checked Susquehanna SP and Rock Run Mill periodically throughout the 
weekend. Highlight was a CAPE MAY WARBLER on Friday (May 4).  Diane Jones 
joined me for awhile, and bumped into Chris Starling during his mini-Big Day.  
20 warblers was decent, but plenty missing from this list.

The highlights:

BROAD-WINGED HAWK - 2
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 1 calling
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 3
ACADIAN FLYCATCHER - 3
Great Crested Flycatcher - 4
Eastern Kingbird - 3
White-eyed Vireo - 2
Yellow-throated Vireo - 6 (or 3 pair? - nesting building)
Red-eyed Vireo - 5
Wood Thrush - 7
Gray Catbird - 3
Blue-winged Warbler - 1
Northern Parula - 10+
CAPE MAY WARBLER - 1 (usually get 1 every 3 Springs or so, although did 
have 1 in yard last Spring - Diane's second ever, first came in Cape May, NJ)
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 4
Yellow-rumped "Myrtle" Warbler - many
Blackburnian Warbler - 1, five secs out of car, where to you go from there.
Yellow-throated Warbler - 2
Prairie Warbler - 2
Palm "Western" Warbler - 1
Blackpoll Warbler - 1
CERULEAN WARBLER - 8, great spot as most people know.
Black-and-white Warbler - 3
American Redstart - 10+
Prothonotary Warbler - 1, unusual, must be spread out
Worm-eating Warbler - 2
Ovenbird - 10+
Northern Waterthrush - 1
Louisiana Waterthrush - 6
Kentucky Warbler - 3
Common Yellowthroat - 4
Scarlet Tanager - 5
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1
Orchard Oriole - 6
Baltimore Oriole - 10

Our Creswell feeder RB Grosbeaks continue minus the first spring male.  It 
appears, at least today (a woman can change her mind, right!), as if Mr. 
Perfect has locked up his romantic deal.
