Hey everyone-

I got to the park at around 7:45 this morning, hoping to see some more migrants (and praying for a Wilson's or Bay-Breasted).  I ran into John Dennehy (fresh off an AMAZING trip to Ecuador), and we birded the Sherwood and Minebank trails until around 11:00.  Overall, the birding was pretty dry, although we did run into one nice pocket of migrants just before arriving at the Kiln on the Minebank trail.  Our cumulative list (John started at 7am):
