Dave Lord et. al. report:
"Participants for Tuesday Morning's "Hidden Corners of Belleplain" didn't know which way to look, or listen, such was the amount of birds we had, many of which were life birds. We had a Three-Vireo-Show at the Triangle, with White-Eyed, Yellow-Throated and Blue Headed Vireo seen, and when we turned around, we got a wonderful treat in the shape of a Worm-Eating Warbler, belting his heart out. We also got a yellow show as well, as Pine, Yellow-Throated, Prairie, and Prothonatary Warblers gave us decent looks, to the amazement of all. But most enjoyable of all was connecting with the sounds around us, as birds sang and we listened to what they had to say."
