Hi all,
 
  Today I decided to check out Rachael Carson Park off Zion Road.  I birded along the "Greenway' trail which winds along the Hawlings River.  Nice views of 2 GRAY CHEEKED THRUSHES feeding along the shaded path. I followed the trail a pretty good way, until I  came to an overgrown field, and out popped a YELLOW BREASTED CHAT. Not sure if I was still on park property(?!) I retraced my route.
