Hi Peter,

A cold but not rainy day. Lots of activity, including many Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, many Brown Creepers, many Hermit Thrush. Not a lot of warblers at all.

My favorite bird was not the Bald Eagle that we got great long looks at, but a Yellow-throated Vireo. I haven't seen many of those in the park, especially when there aren't any leaves!

Here's the list of 59 species.

Best regards,

Tom
