The only birds of real note today during a full day along the Cape Split trail were 3 Turkey Vultures overhead in late 
morning near the tip. They must have been migrating - but from where and to where?

It was an exquisite hike. Along the several km of trail  through deciduous forest W of the spruce/hemlock forest the 
forest floor was a continuous carpet of Spring Beauty, with frequent clumps of Dutchman's Breeches at the bases of 
trees, and many Red Trilliums. Deciduous trees were not out in the Acadian forest, but a horde of Black-throated Green 
Warblers, along with many Blue-headed Vireos and Myrtle Warblers were in song. I heard one each of Least Flycatcher, 
Am. Redstart, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler and Pileated Woodpecker.
