Spent about an hour this morning birding Mission Hill on the edge
of Shelby Park with Phillip Casteel.  By 8:30 am when I left I
was sweating from just walking the short trail around the hill.
Conditions were certainly muggy.  Looking for early migrants
we hoped to find OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERs.  They come through
in August and use the perches on the hill.  While the OLIVE-SIDED
was a no show, we got a nice substitute.  Birds of note were 
still few in number but we did get a nice substitute for our
missed flycatcher, a motley looking CERULEAN WARBLER that was at 
eye level instead of a couple hundred feet up in the trees.  
Other birds of interest included:

Acadian Flycatcher
White-eyed Vireo
Blue-winged Warbler
Yellow Warbler

It sure would be nice in more ways than one to get a cold front
to push through the area.
