I started the day at Metz, where there was a good amount of activity (mostly 
in the form of Gray Catbird).  Highlights:

Great Egret
Osprey - 2

Barred Owl
Eastern Kingbird
White-eyed Vireo - 8
Warbling Vireo - 2
House Wren - 6

Eastern Bluebird
Gray Catbird - 21

Blackpoll Warbler
American Redstart - 2
Common Yellowthroat - 16
Swamp Sparrow

By 8:30 a.m., it had cooled off and the wind had picked up--  Leesylvania 
was pretty quiet, but I managed to scrounge up a respectable diversity of 
birds.  Highlights:
