Tough day for birding...when it wasn't hailing, it was raining bugs.

Quick spontaneous zip to wet woods just as the sun popped out, around 10:15am:
yellow warblers
rose-breasted grosbeak and 2 females
4 baltimore orioles
1 least flycatcher
And another birder looking for the scarlet tanager - seen by several people this morning, apparently.
