Great-crested Flycatcher - 1 (heard not seen)
The Swainson's and Kentucky Warbler were seen along the path in the woods south of the swimming pool. Life is good........especially when seeing the ground warbler perfecta. A Red Stripe Lager was quaffed as a celebratory libation. As a footnote you may want to pass by Manfredi Marsh if in the area. Had an American Avocet, White-rumped Sandpiper and Black Tern there on Labor Day
