I took a quick walk at 3 PM and had about the same birds as Carlos, minus Connecticut Warblers but plus 4 Yellow-billed Cuckoos and 4 Northern Waterthrushes.

At 3:30 I found a singing Gray-cheeked Thrush. It sang 5-6 times, stopped for 5 minutes, sang again, and repeated the sequence several times. Although it sang softly, the song seemed to be complete. Since it's crepuscular, perhaps it will sing louder late today or early tomorrow. It was in the Privet shrubs just east of the Nature Trail, as the trail heads south down the incline from the mound. I placed a root knot in the middle of the path to mark the spot.
