I began this morning (17 Sept 2005) pre-dawn near a newly discovered 
wetland in SW Wayne Co.  Lots of thrushes calling overhead as dawn 
first began.  I estimated 54 Swainson's, 8 Grey-cheeked and 6 Veery 
in about a half hour of listening.  Shortly after first light 180 
Wood Ducks left the wetland, a Wilson's Snipe and 2 Green Herons flew 
by and two Red-headed Woodpeckers began calling nearby.

Fairfield Causeway.  Highlights (78 species, total for day):
