Hi Peter That would be cool, a lifer for me! Wasn't expecting that possibility.
BTW, yesterday I birded Kerncliffe Park in Burlington with my wife Susan (we went there last year), and we flushed an American Bittern in the little marsh there. There are also supposed to be Sora and Virginia Rail, if we havn't got them by then. Lots of warblers, too, but the same as you reported on Thursday. Let's hope the big warbler push of the last few days is still at Long Point. Finally, there was a towhee loudly singing in the middle of the open area near the parking lot, and I've heard field sparrows across Kerns road. See you way too early tomorrow!
