From Matthew Wills :

Hey, Peter,

Got my Vesper Sparrow, only it was in ,Green-Wood [Cemetery] this afternoon.  My highlights were the vesper, juvenile white-crowned sparrow, and blue-headed vireo gleaning from the trees like it was summertime.  (Ran into Rob Jett, who saw several things I hadn't, so coverage for the day should be good.)
