Hey Peter. I made it over to the Vale today- about 4pm to 5pm. I ran into a few other birders- Josh, Sam, and Elyse (sorry, didn't get their last names.)
In addition to the usual suspects, we had:
Baltimore Oriole- liked the berry tree on the SE side
B&W Warbler
Canada Warbler
Amer. Redstart- female in Vale and male on path above Vale, parallel to East Drive
Best,
Michael Cozine
