Leesylvania was very quiet. Had to walk quite a bit to see what is listed. The
ruins field was basically dead. The parking lots were where I saw most of them.
Highlight here was a juvie Yellow-billed Cuckoo begging food from an adult.
Metz had higher numbers of birds, including 20-30 Yellow-rumped W. Highlights
here were Tennessee W. and a Coopers Hawk trying to nab one of the many Am.
Robins. The birds were spread out in most places. Complete list follows.
