I haven't been out there since 5/8 and I missed them there late
afternoon on the May Count but I think it was because it was too windy
(the habitat looked ok to me then). A couple days prior to that I was
there at night and they were singing like mad so I suspect they are
fine unless something else has changed.

BTW - I was at Dan's Rock yesterday and had Ruffed Grouse drumming
from two separate locations both of which were up near the towers. The
first one was near the first tower as you get up to the top and the
other was at the last tower if you were to continue straight back past
the parking area so there is no way I was hearing the same individual.
I also had Ceruleans at 3 spots further down Dan's Rock Road, a
Chestnut-sided Warbler, and several American Redstarts (all between
"the patch" and the end of the woods at the top). I had another
Cerulean over at Dan's Mountain SP as well as a Black-throated Green
Warbler (singing from the same spot where I found a nest during the
atlas period), and one each - Yellow-throated and Blue-headed Vireos.
