Had a great morning at Clear Creek MP with a good-sized mixed flock at Creekside Meadows then another flock on the tulip tree trail. Tennessee and Magnolias were the most numerous with about 4 to 6 of each seen. I had the 3 vireos in the Creekside flock. 

Since the morning birding had been so good I decided to go to the Denison bio reserve late in the afternoon and picked up a few more species. I was also excited to see a Swainson’s Thrush that perched up nicely in the sun briefly.
