Sandy, when you bird there do you walk the trail along both sides of the canal/ creek for warblers and other passerines?
A friend and I are thinking about a day trip over there next week. We like everything, but especially the warblers as they pass through.

The river is very high and there was a lot of tree trash going downriver at Sandtown parking lot. And as I expected a half a dozen Spotted Sandpipers were sitting on the log jams as they floated down river. Fish Crows were also enjoying a ride. As was a turtle and a snake. A Canada Goose with her two youngsters were also zipping along down the flow. She got them safely to shore.
