We took a late afternoon walk at CVP and came up with 39 species, mostly 
regular residents. 

Highlights were:

a couple Yellow-billed Cuckoos with a decent look at one of them

plenty of Eastern Bluebirds in various stages of feather development

a nice mixed flock of birds in the tree-line/hedgerow just preceding the 
entrance to the last field at the northeast end of the Minebank Run 
trail.  We had 2 American Redstarts, Northern Parula, Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher, Eastern Towhee, White-eyed Vireo, Orchard Oriole, Tufted 
Titmouse, Blue Jay, Gray Catbird and LOTS of Robins.
