Bob Adamo and I went in search of the Yellow-Throated Warbler, Louisiana Thrush, and the Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher and missed on all but came up with a great variety of spring species doing spring species behavior that it made for a great day of birding! We had a four Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, a five woodpecker day, and an "is that what I think it is" sighting (the Bald Eagle fly by at Hempstead Lake SP).
