A quick 45 minutes yesterday from Beidelmann Nature Center <http://goo.gl/maps/mKGz> (aka Sondermann Park, Catamount Institue) north for a mile produced 18 species.
A sharpie was working the ravine brush for passerines. And surprisingly had a scrub-jay and a blue jay down there. I may have had a gray catbird sing briefly but could not locate it or get it to sing again. I have found gray catbirds down here fairly reliably at other times. Flickers where calling. Complete list below.
