Hey everyone-

I headed out to Cromwell around 1pm today for what I thought would be a short outing- I ended up staying for close to 4 hours.  There were birds everywhere.  At the spot where the Willow Grove entrance road crosses over Minebank Run, I had 13 warbler species, 4 species of Flycatcher, and two Philly Vireos, without moving.  Total, I had 16 species of warbler, although in three hours spent exploring every weedy part of the park, I could pull out no oporornis species.  Still, an awesome day, even with the constant rain.
