We ran the Front Royal BBS route Saturday June 11, 2011. This route runs from
the north entrance of the park to just south of Elkwallow Wayside. We had a
good number of Cerulean Warblers on the run but cuckoos were down again. We
did not see much evidence of tent caterpillars, that may be part of the reason.

Ruffed Grouse 1
Mourning Dove 4
Black-billed Cuckoo 2
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 1
Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1
