I can add to Chris’s Hawthorn list 2 Wilson’s warblers and 2 bay breasted warblers. One of the Wilson’s warblers was called in by Chris’s spishing in the brush in the Southwest section (at least I assume it was Chris - I didn’t actually see him); the other was in the ravine in the northwest corner. The bay breasted warblers were along the main path that parallels the ravine.
