Hi Peter,
Fantastic group today with lots of great birds and wonderful weather.

Parula, Ovenbird, Prairie, Rusty Blackbird, at least 3 Winter Wren, 5 species of woodpecker, Fish Crow (every week so far!), many Blue-headed Vireo and also White-eyed and Warbler, and Field Sparrow.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
