Hi Peter,
It was a really beautiful day today in the park. And, especially in the north end, very birdy. There clearly was a good flight into the park last night.
Below is the list.
Highlights included Great Cormorant (!), 21 species of warblers including Bay-breasted, a couple of Tennessee, Prairie, Blackpoll, Pine, Palm, and lots of Redstarts and Northern Paruuuulas...., and 2 or 3 Gray-cheeked Thrushes.

One highlight was Michele finding a Connecticut Warbler on the peninsula, not far from the shelter. She had a brief look and we couldn't re-find it but later Kathy Toomey did find it again in the same area.

Here's the list.

Best regards,
Tom
