Dave Lord reports: "This morning's final Hidden Corners of Belleplain walk had many birds, most of which were hiding behind foliage. An odd Nashville Warbler sang a few times at the four corners, a few Acadian Flycatchers obliged us with good looks, and Yellow-billed Cuckoos teased us with vocalizations deep in the woods. A number of Worm-eating Warblers were heard, with only a few seen, and a good amount of Hooded Warblers were also present. The highlight of the walk was not even a bird: it was a beautiful Ebony Jewelwing damselfly showing off near the triangle."
