Hi all --

Because it had been such a good morning, we drove over to Brookside Gardens
and vicinity in the evening to see if anything was about. Well -- too many
people (including a wedding!) but we did see a few birds. Best were two
parties of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS flying over at about 5:30 PM. For some reason
known only to them, they were all flying ENE.

Other birds of interest:

Eastern Wood-pewee - 10
Swainson's Thrush - 2
Red-eyed Vireo - 2
Scarlet Tanager - 2
Magnolia Warbler - 1
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 12
