Hi all,

As they say, what a difference a day makes! The cool, overcast and breezy 
morning did not bode well and that proved to be the case. We had a 
worman coming in late morning to decided to stay local. Despite the 
unfavorable conditions, we did manage to scrape up some good birds. 
Best were two WILSON'S WARBLERS together in the Gardens near the 
tea house. In all we had 10 species of warblers both there and in upper 
Sligo Creek Park but a lot were heard only in the thick foliage and 
wind-swept tree-tops!
