From Rob Jett:
Peter,
It was surprisingly birdy considering that I didn't get into the park until relatively late. The most active spots for warblers were the Lullwater, Peninsula Woods and the oak trees surrounding the Butterfly Meadow. The best bird of the day for me was a calling Yellow-bellied Flycatcher on the Peninsula "Thumb". The most common warblers were redstarts and black-and-whites.
Rob
