Hey everyone-
After waking up at 5:00 am on Saturday morning to head for New Jersey with
Pete Webb, Leslie Starr, and Kevin Graff to bird Cape May and see the Curlew
Sandpipers, I thought I would sleep in today. But when Leslie called me at
7:20 this morning to say that she and Joe Turner were heading out to Rock
Run for Cerulean Warblers, it was an impossible offer to resist. We had a
great day, with 8 CERULEAN WARBLERS (6 heard and 2 seen) being the
