Hi Peter,
I guess the first thing that comes to mind to describe the day today is "wow"...so many warblers. We had a large and enthusiastic group today and it took us a couple of hours just to get to the vale!
We ended up with 90 species and 23 species of warblers. Highlights included a Bald Eagle that was perched near Rick's place (that we almost passed by as a ReTaHa....), many Cape May's, several Bay-breasteds, a female Cerulean (that unfortunately didn't hang around for long), several Blackburnian, great looks at Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Common Nighthawk (thanks to Keir for spotting this), the hummingbird nest (thanks to Rob Jett's stick), at least 3Wilson's, Hooded and probably 3 Canada warblers.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
