Dave Lord et. al. report:
"The inaugural "Hidden Corners of Belleplain had wonderful birds, despite the brief rain and cloud cover. 2 Black and White Warblers were seen on Tom Field Road with a flock of other feeding birds; Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers were heard at various places, and Yellow-Throated Warblers have really picked up the pace and are almost gaining on Pine Warbler numbers."
