At 10:30, I stopped by for a quick visit to Schoolhouse.

Greeted by a Prothonotary Warbler singing. Then heard and saw the
Northern Waterthrush, white and red eyed vireos but no blue headed
vireo.

Wish I couldve stayed longer, but its back to work. I do enjoy outside
sales on days like today.

Good birding.
