I managed to bird Greynolds Park for about an hour (between 1230-130) before a line of heavy thunderstorms forced me to take cover. I focused on the mixed hardwood hammock and live oak grove area located between the park office and picnic area. It was interesting to observed how bird numbers increased as the line of storms were approaching the park from the south.
Osprey - 1
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 2
Eastern Kingbird - 25 (feeding on Virginia creeper fruit)
Red-eyed Vireo - 6
White-eyed Vireo - 1
Yellow-throated Vireo - 2

Plus 1 Gray fox on trail and 4 raccoons in one strangler fig feeding on fruit along with migrants. Also it looks like the live oaks are producing a heavy crop of acorns this year much to the pleasure of the Gray squirrels.
