Just a quick follow-up to my rather excitedly written post from a half hour 
ago. (After having one of the best 15 minutes of birding that I've had in a 
while, I couldn't help but be a bit excited.) The tree that's bearing fruit 
appears to be a Black Tupelo and there are several of them around the parking 
lot, the fruit on some of the trees is deep blue and ripe, while on others it's 
still green. Most of the trees have a few bright red leaves making them easy to 
spot. In any case, I was just out there to do some more looking and the 
warblers seem to have left although I got a Baltimore Oriole and had another 
flyover flock of about 60 Common Nighthawks.
