The highlight from my morning walk around Schoolhouse Pond this morning was 
a pair of Snowy Egrets that flew several times low around the pond.  They 
appeared about ready to set down several times, but kept circling around the 
pond slowly before flying off.  

Shorebirds included good numbers of the same species that have been here 
the past week:  Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpipers, 
Least Sandpipers, and Spotted Sandpiper.

Warblers included Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Yellow Warbler, 
Northern Waterthrush, Louisiania Waterthrush, American Redstart, Blackpoll 
Warbler, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
