Green that Don had seen before I arrived. We tried to refind it to no avail.. The big fig at the north end continues to amaze with 10 species of warbler including the previously posted Wilson's ( a really nice male).Birch also had Swainson's Thrush and R.B. Grosbeak. Birch Wilson's Chestnut sided Bay- breasted Magnolia Parula lots Redstart many Bl.Thr Blue lots Common Yellow throat 6 Palm 8 Yellow Throated 5 Worm-eating 1 Ovenbird 5 No. Waterthrush 1 Cape May 5 Bl.and White 4 Catbirds all over the place. Swainson's thrush Rose-breasted Grosbeak afternoon at Cemetery. I added Prairie (none at Birch !) Pine Tennessee, on my way out at the south fence I got GREAT low looks 25ft.up at a nice one. earlier. several more Swainson's Thrushes, R.B. Grosbeaks Both Summer and Scarlet Tanager Yellow Throated . White eyed and Red Eyed Vireo Dawn to Dusk . 1/2 a can of Cutter's repellant ,1 gallon of water, No lunch..PRICELESS had a blast.
