Hi all,
 
  Did a short, 9a.m.ish walk near PIne Lake. Migrant activity was light, with a few warblers.
Many Chipping Sparrows gone from previous days. Pine Lake was quite high with water.
 I'll try to do Barry & Gail proud, but I didn't have time to search out more birds.
About the same time last year, there were about 20 Black throated Blue Warblers at this place-none seen so far. The weather is probably the culprit.
