Baltimore Oriole and
Common Yellowthroat. Off the dock swam a pair of female Common Mergansers.
A bike ride through the hardwoods turned up some new arrivals including four
Black-throated Blue Warblers, an
American Redstart, a
Northern Waterthrush, and
Yellow-headed Vireo. I heard
Ruffed Grouse drumming in two areas.
