I spent about an hour less than yesterday at Rapids Lake MVNWR this morning covering slightly less area(little less in hunting areas, quieter). It was quite the day for thrush including a Gray-cheeked that curiously came within 10 feet of me on the trail as I stood motionless. Similar thing happened to me yesterday with a Veery. Select counts, once again, are below.
