I hit Jacobson Park this morning early and then met Stratton and Mark at
the Lexington Cemetery for about 3 hours this morning. Lots of birds
around at both places with Yellow-rumps and Tennessee being the most
numerous warblers. Between the two places I ended the morning with around
85 species. Highlights are below.
