Just a little upstream at Robious Landing Park this morning, I had a lot of the same species minus some, plus a few others. Most interesting was the Northern Rough-winged Swallow checking out the exhaust pipe of my parked vehicle, presumably in search of a nest site.

Highlights included first Acadian Flycatchers, a brief glimpse of a beautiful male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Blackpoll and Black-and-white Warblers among others, the best view I've ever had of a Red-eyed Vireo, and an up-close visit with a Pileated Woodpecker. 27 species in all.
