I started at Denison and altho it was fairly quiet, I was excited to pick up 2 new birds for the Reserve: Blue Grosbeak and a briefly heard Whip-poor-will! I've occ seen Blue Grosbeak at the nearby Land Lab but never at the Reserve. I heard its distinctive call note & located a first summer male foraging low in the Swallow Field. V cool. 

Then, not long after that, I was amazed to hear a Whip-poor-will in the distance--it called 3 times then was silent. I figured they were prob in the area and have stopped by near dusk a few times but have never heard them until today.

I then went to the Land Lab and was happy to see/hear my FOY Orchard Oriole--both an adult male & a first summer male.
