Another fine day in the Park. Of note KENTUCKY, PRAIRIE and PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS have turned up. Details below. The southerly wind resulted in a reverse movement at the Tip.

Off the Tip a RED-THROATED LOON was noted and a few HORNED GREBE. A GRASSHOPPER SPARROW is being seen well near the south end of the West Beach Parking Lot.
