From Tom Stephenson:
Hi Peter,
Got out for a couple of hours this AM. Not quite as noisy or birdy as yesterday, but still a lot of action. I spent most of the time below lookout and going to and from there and GA.
Had 20 species of warblers including Blue-winged, Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Canada, at least 5 Cape May, several Blackpoll; also Eastern Wood-pewee (FOY for park?), 3 racoons thanks to Matt Beck's sharp eyes, and more. Didn't see or hear the Cerulean or Hooded, but they could still be around. Listed below Merlin and Lincoln's Sparrow from yesterday since I didn't send anything in case you want to add to records.
I'll send some Cerulean and Hooded pix from yesterday soon.
Best regards,
Tom
