Last week oddness
One N.Parula singing a raspy Yellow-throated Warbler song.

Still lots of white-throated sparrows and yellow-rumped warblers about, a handful of Hermit Thrush, a few Thrashers, tons of Robins, Red-winged blackbirds, one or two chipping sparrows, and other birds I'm forgetting. Too many Starlings, Grackles, House Sparrows, and Cowbirds for my liking.
