Hello all,

Black-and-white, Black-throated Green, Kentucky, Hooded, Worm-eating,
Blackburnian, American Redstart, Chat was heard.
Red and White-eyed Vireos,
Orchard Oriole,
Scarlet and Summer Tanagers,
Indigo Bunting
Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoo
Gray Catbirds were the most common bird today
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Swainson's Thrush
Easter Wood-Pewee
Here are some photos:
