Hi Peter,
Good seeing you today! Thank you for the tip on the Nighthawks. I went
searching for your Philadelphia Vireo, and while I didn't see it, I
did find a nice surprise near the music pagoda: a Gray-cheeked Thrush.
It was feeding on berries!
Cheers!

hi Peter
I'm Keir, Scottish birder - we've bumped into each other a few times.
Great day in PP today. Worm-eating Warbler is probably the only
significant addition to your list. I had no luck with the Philly Vireo...
feel free to post my list
cheers
