Arrived at first light this morning to find a lot of activity around Lucky Hammock, with many warblers flying into the hammock from the adjacent field and many more flying overhead. The best variety was at the Annex, which produced Philadelphia Vireo and 2 Blue-winged Warbler, as well as many other good birds. Mosquitoes were bad. I think they really appreciated me birding under an umbrella :)
