In other news, a whole host of CMBO naturalists report the following from this morning's tour of Belleplain State Forest: "...Lots of bird activity at times. New FOS for many including Great Crested Flycatcher, Northern Parula, Prairie, Prothonotary, Worm-eating, and Hooded, either seen or heard or both. Baltimore and Orchard Orioles both put on a good show as did the Summer and Scarlet Tanagers."
