Despite the fact that things slowed down a little yesterday I still managed 
 a 14 Warbler day at Smith Oaks in High Island. Several birds over the last 
few  days have offered photo ops so here are a few pictures from the last 
4-5 days.  The majority are from High Island at bot Boy Scout Woods and Smith 
Oaks. The  highlight yesterday was the Black-billed Cuckoo that sat about 
15 feet from me  for photos. There were apparently 2 in the same area and 
several Yellow-billed  running around also.
