The area was fairly quiet when I entered from Mitchell Street around 6 this morning. Several LEAST and a GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER were calling close to the E.I. Rec-way. As I progressed east I was surrounded by four singing WOOD THRUSHES and then at least six GRAY CATBIRDS. A YELLOW WARBLER was the only warbler I encountered in the NE corner. Then it began to rain thinly, and I ran into Chris T-Hymes. He pointed out a distant TENNESSEE WARBLER that I was unable to hear at first. Moving closer we found a second TENNESSEE. Chris headed into the middle of the thicket, and I worked my way back towards Mitchell Street. Just before emerging from the trees I ran into a foraging group of CHESTNUT-SIDED, BAY-BREASTED, and TENNESSEE WARBLERS. Apparently there was no major fallout last night - but there were still a few good birds around.
