This was the best day we have had in years, a fitting way to celebrate my
(exactly to the day) 60 years of birding. Linda Friedland, Lydia Schindler,
Pat Scheid and I had 17 warbler species and more.

Linda also saw Blue-headed and Warbling Vireos and a possible Tennessee
Warbler, if I remember correctly (not a given). There was no sign of
yesterday's Cerulean Warbler. Also, my numbers tend to be way conservative.
