Hi folks,

I went to the little pools on the right side of the road just before the tourist Information shack where I sat for about an hour and a half among migrating warblers.  Unless otherwise noted, most of the birds were seen or heard at the little pulloff in the woods.

6  Purple martins - Al the colony going in an out of their nest openings.  There were several more but I could not get a count on them.  All of the houses also had a tree swallow perched in the roof.
