Tried Hunters Garden,heard Great Crested Flycatcher FOY,saw Phoebe at water hole, warblers sparse, black-and-white,ovenbird, pine and red-eyed vireo,Baltimore orioles,towhees,cowbird,chipping sparrows. Heard a Yellow-billed cuckoo and was pleased to track him down and get a very good look FOY, Went south on Rte. 51 from Hunters Garden to Murphy's Meadow ( my name for the grassy fields after trees, on the west side, about 1/2 mile South, and about 1/2 mile before reaching bicycle path trail) Found field sparrows, good looks at Great crested FC, yellow warblers, chipping sparrows, got pictures of two Brown Thrashers FOY, lots Baltimore Orioles, and a very good look at a female Orchard Oriole FOY, and nesting Bluebirds. There are lots of ticks at Murphy's Meadow so beware. There are usually nesting Eastern kingbirds there, but I did not see any today. Good birding to all!
