Hi all,

I birded South Stream WMA in Pownal this morning with Mary and Tommy Kirby.
The wind, combined with occasional rain, made birding rather difficult, but
we managed to find 50 species. Highlights include Virginia Rail, Alder
Flycatcher (and a Gray Catbird with a superb AL Flycatcher imitation), N.
Rough-winged Swallows, and 12 warbler species. The complete list is below.
