Did a quick round of Hawthorn, finding more birders than noteworthy birds: three yellow warblers; good numbers of white-throated and song sparrows skulking on the forest floor; house wren singing near the recway (FOY for me), and a chickadee continually singing the first part of its song followed

Mark reported many neat things, several of which I had also this AM. I started off by watching the DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT circling the snag a couple times before landing on the end of the long horizontal branch point south. This seemed to cause no distress (at least no franking sounds) from

I did a quick check for Worm-eating Warblers at 10:00. They don't seem to have arrived yet. The chestnut oaks are not yet unfurling their leaves, so on that basis I think it may be a couple more days. I did find quite a few Black-throated Green Warblers and one Black and White Warbler. I also
