There was a good flight last night.   From 9:55 to 10:25 PM I heard 7 
Veery, 9 Wood, 12 Swainson's and 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush and lots of pits and zips, 
the latter all at ground level!   Neotrops were plentiful and varied today 
with 17 warbler species.   Today's neck-challenged participants were Linda 
Friedland, Andy Martin, Pat Scheid and Lydia Schindler.

I may have missed a species or two seen by the others; there was talk of a 
Cape May and a possible Bay-breasted.   At one point we heard a 
Wilson's-like song briefly.
