After successfully seeing the buff-breasted sandpipers at the polofields (thanks dave!), I made a quick stop at hughes hollow. The rain had just ended (11:15am) and I ran across a nice mixed flock at the end of main dike. 15 minutes of searching through the trees yielded 8 warbler sp and a philly vireo. A rather large foraging grackle flock then came through and everything died down a bit.
