Hi Peter,
Despite a bit of early rain, our intrepid group perservered and eventually we had an incredibly birdy morning with 17 species of warblers including Wilson's, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted and Pine, plus Tennessee (briefly) and Nashville. Other highlights were White-eyed Vireo, 5 Pied-billed Grebes, Coots, Ruddy Duck, Brown Creeper, more Red-breasted Nuthatch, Lincoln Sparrow, American Kestrel and more.
Here's the list
Best regards,
Tom
