["Jon Little" <littlejon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After the rain, we did some nest hunting in Clarke Co. and ended up along the 
river.
About halfway between Hwy 7 & 50, we heard a single LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH (we 
later checked aother known LOWA spot, but did not hear one).

At the same spot, while looking at a RTHA on a nest across the river, we saw a 
number of BROWN CREEPERS foraging among the trees around us - with that many in 
the area, I assumed they must be migrating north, apparently in groups, using 
the river corridor. We also had 2 swallows that I believe were BANK, but I 
didn't get good enough looks to be certain.

During the afternoon, we found 3 additional RTHA nests that were Occupied, 
making it 4 for the day - all in Clarke Co., plus a single one in WV (just over 
the state line).
