Today on the Thurston Griggs Trail to the Black Rock overlook we
observed/heard the following species:

 

Wood thrush

Worm-eating warbler

Black and white warbler 

Eastern towhee

Pileated woodpecker

 

While Indigo Buntings were not target species, while sitting on Black
Overlook we had indigo buntings on either side of us, about 20 feet away
singing their hearts out.  The backdrop of mountains and trees was
beautiful.  If anyone wants a good picture of an indigo bunting with a
dramatic background, this would be a good spot.
