Hi Peter,
We had a brave and hardy group today... with rain and not a lot of birds at first, but after some clearing it turned out to be fairly birdy. We ended up with 83 species and 18 species of warblers.
Highlights: several Bay-breasted Warblers, Blue-winged and Canadas that showed well, many female Blackpolls, a juvenal Broad-winged Hawk, a cooperative Gray-cheeked Thrush along with all of its relatives except Bicknell's, and more.
The Mourning was, unfortunately, just a call and the Summer Tanager was a singing bird that then called a few times and disappeared before we could find it. In fact, many birds disappeared suddenly today, including the Marsh Wren, which showed for a few of us only.
Even with the rain it was a lot of fun with a great group.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
