Warmer & muggier this morning at the Reserve. Pretty much the same birds as the other day but birding was overall quieter. 

I saw 2 young Baltimore Orioles, silent. 

A YB Chat was vocal & perched up nicely, always a treat. Nearby a White-eyed Vireo sounded off which I missed the other day. 

Brown Thrashers were easier to see including a fledgling following a parent in the middle of the trail. 

Had a close YB Cuckoo but buried in the foliage so no views yet again. 

I forgot to mention I had Pileated WP last time as well as Indigo Buntings, both heard again today. 

Only other Warbler was heard-only Com Yellowthroat. 

Black & Turkey Vultures. 

On a window by the utility barn by the parking lot as I was leaving, there was an Imperial Moth, at least 4” across—way cool. Also saw a Common Wood-Nymph butterfly.
