From Scott Whittle:
Here's my list...the Solitary SP was by 3 sisters last I saw it, bobbing and vocalizing. BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO vocalizing by the Maryland Monument. The TENNESSEE WARBLER was by that spot about LP 249 at the stairs, the WORM-EATING WARBLER was on the south end of the butterfly meadow, and the BLUE-WINGED WARBLER was just below the butterfly meadow on the path to the east.

From Peter:
A little activity of warblers was observed in the lake shore mature River Birch across the road from the Wellhouse around 6 pm (at least 8,only identified 5) . It is my impression that as birds get the urge to keep moving "south " thru the forest,it might be worth spending time if you bird the late afternoon, the south slopes of Lookout, LP 249 and the trees along the north shore of the lake as well as the south shore of the Peninsula to the tip.Just something to take into consideration
