Hi Peter,

a REALLY good day of birding.  i was worried we'd have to cancel due to rain, but it had all passed by start time. (did you get a Tornado wanring at 4 am?  I did!!!)

i can't say anything new blew in, and we didnt' have a high warbler count (12sp) but there were birds EVERYWHERE.  we never had to look far to see activity.   tanagers, orioles, yellow throated vireo, etc.

somehow a CRAWDAD had gotten out of the water by Binnen Bridge and a woman and her son were trying to rescue it w/ a stick.  Bob O'Neil retrieved some thick paper and scooped it up (it was fighting-angry!!!) and deposited it back in the binnen.  Hero of the day!

here's a few pics..
