There are some pockets of warblers and vireos in area
called Lime Kiln which is downstream from Willow Grove
parking lot. Walls made of bricks will be on your left
with two holes. passerines are all around us there.

I'll be at the hawkwatch on Monday (Labor Day) all day
and anyone is welcome to join us and bring in any food
if plan to stick around all day. We had to cut short
our walk due to hawk movement but everyone has a great
day seeing warblers and a pair of cuckoos.
