The significant rains last night put quite a few migrants down in the
RiverPark woods. John Berner joined me for the morning and added 4 species
to his Ft Bend list. I was able to add several to my Patch list including
Cerulean & Blackburnian Warblers, Philly Vireos, Scarlet Tanagers, Veery,
Wood & Gray-cheeked Thrushes, and Black-billed Cuckoo. I will check the
woods later today as well. See full list below.
