Hi all --

Barry was off to the banding station at Patuxent and I went to WRP, doing
the usual areas. Not a very active day for migrants -- lots of birds have
cleared out and not much has come in, apparently. However the paucity of
warblers was off-set by great looks at LEAST and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS
-- close and cooperative. The huge numbers of Robins and Flickers that were
everywhere yesterday were almost all gone today, only two lonely Pewees, and
Catbird numbers continue to fall...
