Birds of interest, despite the weather, were Forster's Terns and Black Terns at Crystal Lake. There is way too much water in the lakes and ponds for shorebirds. Swallows were everywhere. Few warblers, probably hiding under leaves to keep dry. A Yellow-throated Vireo, Swainson's Thrushes, and an Orchard Oriole at Pilot Knob.
