I had one decent-sized flock at Denison when I first arrived. They were feeding in the trees near the parking lot. Fast-moving & high so difficult to ID unless they were in the few trees with not many leaves. Often they would fly into a thickly-leaved tree & I would lose them. Also many goldfinches of varying yellow plumage flitting around so that was distracting. Once the flock moved on, I could only find a few singles here & there but I did see both Swainson’s & Gray-cheeked Thrushes.

Morris Woods had a few small groups scattered about but the best was close looks at a lovely N Waterthrush with a bright yellow wash perched up in the same binocular view with an Ovenbird while they both chipped at me. The Waterthrush was in a little patch of sun so it glowed. They quickly disappeared into dark tangles. Also saw a quite yellow Yellow-bellied FC.

Saw a kestrel from the roadside on the drive to morris Woods.
