I notice that no one has posted it yet today - several of us observed a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO this morning south of the Sherwood Platform on the Wilson Trail. Dan Lane first called it out, then a couple more, including Kevin McGowan, got on it.
The Wilson Trail was rather quiet this morning, with 10- 12 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 4 Yellow, 2 Palm, single Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, N. Parula, and Cape May Warblers, 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, an Eastern Kingbird, 6 Warbling Vireos, and 2 Red-eyed Vireos. I understand that Jay eventually found the American Bittern in the small pond just north of the Sherwood Platform.
