With the weather shift, I expected a great morning in Ft. Bayard this morning, and I got it.  Warbler diversity was not great (6 species), but a singing male CAPE MAY was the best bird.  Runners-up were a LEAST FLYCATCHER, and a flyover GREEN HERON that was my first for the park.

BALTIMORE ORIOLES impressed with their numbers--at least 5, probably many more.  Catbirds were even more numerous. 2 BLUE-HEADED VIREOS were still passing through, as was a single White-throated Sparrow.  A pair of reasonably cooperative ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS added even more color.
