Visual confirmation this morning that Magnolia Warbler's are still in the area. 
Saw one near the banding station. No luck on the Black Tern sighted here 
yesterday though. Fifty-eight species seen/heard before the heat began. All in 
all not a bad morning. 

Caution: The ticks are prolific here now. I trying to the middle of the road, 
and still I pulled about ten (10) ticks off my pants and socks. Most were Dog 
Tick nymphs, about the size of a regular straight pin head (i.e. <1mm), and two 
Deer Ticks.
