We had heavy rain overnight, and I got to Ridgeview Park just as the rain was stopping. Everything was wet there, but I managed to log 26 avian species. I heard two Common Yellowthroats, and saw a female American Redstart and a male Blackpoll Warbler.

I did a quick run up on Route 610, and added 9 more avian species. Up there, I heard Cerulean Warblers, saw Hooded Warblers and Ovenbirds, and photographed American Redstarts, a Pine Warbler, and a Worm-eating Warbler.
