The day started cloudy and muggy. Initially it looked as if it would be a slow day. but birding picked up, and the weather turned from clouds to sunshine. Large flocks of migrating Blue Jays were seen. Northern Flickers also appeared to be migrating in significant numbers. One of our highlights was a Philadelphia Vireo. Birders were excited to see an Opossum, a mammal rarely seen by most of us.
