From Rafael:
Another easy, and humid walk thru PP after the big rains of last night; Compared with yesterday's walk, today was almost the same; But the big differences today were 1 Eastern Wood-Pewee heard calling near the Vale, and 1 Great Crested Flycatcher seen around the Lullwater, and around Quaker Hill, at least 2 Wood Thrushes were singing quite loud. Nothing special around the lake, Midwood, or the meadows.
