I'll leave the TAS walk report for the trip leader, but it is worth mentioning that the area between Homeless Hammock and the boardwalk is very productive. At some point after 11:45, rain appeared to cause numbers to increase, especially around the lakeside figs.

Among fifteen species of warblers, the Swainson's Warbler was located on the east side of the path at Homeless Hammock, and again later by me and Scott Scheinhaus in the actual hammock. It eventually allowed us to have great looks without the use of binoculars. We also had two Tennessee Warblers and a Northern Waterthrush, two species I don't think were seen during the walk. A silent "Traill's" Flycatcher continues in the willows on the north side of the lake. Lastly, the Kentucky Warblers surely appear to have departed.
