Two previous attempsts to post this messsage so I hope this one goes 
through.

John Combs, John Pangborn, Mike Bowen and I arrived at Blue Mash at 0730 
but there was no BB Cuckoos.  John Combs left the group around 1000 and did 
find a BB Cuckoo when he returned to the parking area.  The remaining group 
arrived at the parking area around 1030 and, despite Mike Bowen playing the 
cuckoo's call, dipped on the bird(s) once again.

Other highlights this morning included: Green Heron; Solitary Sandpiper; Lesser 
Yellowlegs; Least Sandpiper; Chimney Swift; White-eyed Vireo; Red-eyed 
Vireo; Fish Crow; House Wren; Wood Thrush; Gray Catbird (abundant); Cedar 
Waxwing; Yellow Warbler (abundant); Prairie Warbler (BMNT #161); Ovenbird; 
Northern Waterthrush (heard only); Common Yellowthroat; Eastern 
Meadowlark; Orchard Oriole; and Purple Finch (1m-2f).
