Another fine spring day at Mammoth Cave N.P. A 38 degree start temp.
dampened bird song for the first hour, but they perked up soon enough.
Highlights were our first Great Crested Flycatchers, Yellow Warbler, and
Indigo Bunting of the spring, along with our first double-digit warbler day.
A soaring juvie bald eagle was a treat for park visitors.
