Hi Peter,
Well....beautiful day but very slow bird-wise, except for the huge number of American Redstarts (including 1 adult male only...) and a good number of Common Yellowthroat. We did uncover a few unusual species including Olive-sided Flycatcher, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a bright Blackburnian Warbler, an early Blackpoll, several Northern Waterthrush, and a total of 10 species of warblers. 

The surprise guest of the day was a Great Cormorant, west of three sisters. It was a young bird (photo attached) hanging out with some wood ducks and a young Double-crested Cormorant.

Here's the list.

Tom
