This morning's regular birdwalk at Cylburn Arboretum was moderately
productive with four warbler species, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and a
smattering of hawks. An early surge of Broad-winged Hawks was
promising, but didn't become a big push of hundreds such as we have
seen a few times over the years about this date.

graced with a well-seen Blackburnian Warbler.
