Later in the day I was able to see the Kentucky Warbler at Hernshead (seen and photographed by many), the Yellow-breasted Chat at Maintenance Field (reported earlier by Junko Suzuki). There were quite a few other birds at the Maintenance Field Friday in the big oak on the east side including Black-throated Blue Warbler and Worm-eating Warbler.

Other reports from Friday: E. J. Bartolazo reported a Cape May Warbler at the High Meadow, and Dennis Newsham reported a Wood Thrush at the Lily Ponds.
