As Kevin said it was a great day to be out at Cromwell Valley Park. Only
species I wish to add is a Tennessee Warbler that I forgot to mention when
I bumped into Kevin and his group. The weedy field was alive with Palm
Warblers (mostly yellows), Swamp Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, wrens,
and a minimum of three Nashville Warblers. Photos of today's catch can be
viewed at:

Good birding!
