This morning between 7:30 and 11:00am:
At the entrance to Picnic Point - several Gray Catbirds, a male and female 
Common Yellowthroat Warbler, a Song Sparrow, a House Wren taking a dirt bath on 
the path and a juvenile male Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Walking north up the asphalt road - two Swainson's thrushes, lots of noisy Blue 
Jays

Top of hill just beyond the big oak - Northern Cardinals, Black-capped 
Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, American 
Robins, male and female Redstarts and a Magnolia Warbler

Biocore Prairie - Mourning Doves, a Northern Flicker, Gray Catbirds, Song 
Sparrows and American Goldfinches, otherwise unusually quiet

Frautschi Point - the best of the day!
    Two juvenile Red-headed Woodpeckers (with dark gray heads)
    An Eastern Wood-Peewee
    Cedar Waxwings
    American Crow
    A good group of warblers feeding mostly in the basswoods
        Lots of male and female Redstarts
        A beautiful Canada Warbler
        2 Nashville Warblers         
        1 Wilson's Warbler
        2 Magnolia Warblers
        2 Chestnut-sided Warblers
        A possible Blackpoll Warbler

Deeper in near the really big oak tree
    Red-bellied Woodpeckers
    More Blue Jays
    2 Ovenbirds
    I stood five feet from a Red-breasted Nuthatch while it worked the trunk of 
a small cedar tree

Good birding to all of you
