Kent - I haven't seen it reported (nor have I seen one there yet myself),
but Gordon (the other birder I met there yesterday) said he'd seen a
WORM-EATING WARBLER that morning (that morning == yesterday == Friday).
I too wish my yard were better, but I shouldn't complain - a ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAK "squeaked" and then actually sang a little bit over my head as I
cleared out a flower bed this afternoon.
Good birding,
-Sandy
