Hi all,

  The overcast skies and cool weather made for a cluster of birds at Viers Mill Park this morning for a short time.  They would sing off and on. Due to bad lighting I had a some of
the "UFW"'s (unidentified flying warblers)  a bit frustrating, but got good looks at a Swainson's Thrush, and a Bay-breasted Warbler. Even a Scarlet Tanager looked good in the dim light. An Osprey flew high overhead, a surprise.
