One of the best days in a while, especially when one considers that
this list was drawn from casual observation. All birds were seen.
These birds were gleaned from a few moments of shaking off the dust
time to time. It was especially nice to see the blue-headed vireo and
redstart. I also saw two raptors flying so fast that all I can say is
one was an accipiter and the other a buteo, probably sharp-shinned and
red-tail.
