Hi all,

I led a group to Baxter's Hollow this morning. Highlights included 16 
warbler species, both cuckoos, a nice variety of flycatchers, and 
singing thrushes. Non-avian highlights included a Brown Snake, a variety 
of fish, frogs and tadpoles and a wonderful woodland wildflower display.

Here is an abridged list...

Black-billed Cuckoo 2
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 2
Ruby-throated Hummingbird 3
Olive-sided Flycatcher 1
