Found a Black-whiskered Vireo at Smith Oaks, in the back (NE), around 6:30 pm 
today. It was with a nice feeding flock of Red-eyed Vireos, Tennessee Warblers, 
Blackburnian Warblers, Bay-breasted Warblers, Magnolia Warblers, etc. My dad 
also found a Black-billed Cuckoo in this same area at around 5:00 pm.

A pair of Peregrine Falcons courting(?) high above the Skillern Tract, then 
diving down, quite a spectacle.Olive-sided Flycatcher at Boy Scout Woods 
(gazebo)Yellow-bellied FlycatchersYellow-throated & Philadelphia VireosVeery, 
Wood Thrush, a few Gray-cheeked and hordes of Swainson'sN. Parula, Yellow, 
Chestnut-sided, BT Green, Blackpoll, B&W, Redstarts, Ovenbird, & N.

And still hundreds and hundreds of shorebirds along Old Pear Orchard Rd.
