That's an impressive list. I was there on Sunday morning and it was all very quiet.

I was in the Rouge for a brief spell both on Saturday and then again on Sunday.
Beautiful weather but no birds, or hardly any. One Kingfisher, two Yellow warblers,
two Kingbirds and a Song Sparrow.  Big deal! I asked myself if there was really a
mass migration in play. What a difference a day makes, as well as a different venue.
