morning was over - local and E-Bird users who happened to be in the area.
Highlights included 2 Black-billed Cuckoos, Wilson’s Warbler, 2 Willow
Flycatchers, Veery, Swainson's Thrush, Gray-cheeked Thrush, 2 Baltimore
Orioles, 2 Northern Waterthrushes, 3 Magnolia Warblers, Northern Parula, 2
Chestnut-sided Warblers, Black-and-white Warbler, and American Redstarts. Our
complete list is below - other birders may have picked up additional species.
