I was at Arnot Forest from 1pm-4pm yesterday and did manage to hear and see a fair number of migrants, including FOY CANADA WARBLERS. Also found two beautiful SPRING SALAMANDERS in the creek. eBird list is below, but the best highlight was definitely having two LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES foraging and calling about 8ft away from me in the creek at eye level (with a spring salamander directly below me). Good birding, Evan
