[WEalding@xxxxxxx]

This was the first opportunity that I'd had to visit the park since Ernesto  
went through.  The Beaver Lake Trail is open, the park staff have done a  fine 
job in clearing the obvious downed limbs and trees.  The most common  downed 
tree seems to be the Tulip Poplar.  At one point a small (one and a  half inch 
in diameter at most) limb had come down vertically and speared through  one 
of the boards on one of the boardwalks.
 
Bird sightings shown below, no obvious migrants.
