Hi Pat

I did see a male and female indigo bunting  interact together a few times 
earlier Friday.

Dennis Garratt and I felt it was a Least flycatcher even though there was no 
chance of hearing it sing to confirm the ID.

Saturday three indigo buntings, two of them in full plumage, were still at 
the goose pond.  The two males stayed out of sight most of the day.

Lois Codling, Suzanne Borsowski and I were delighted to see a grey catbird 
in the same place.

I managed to spot a yellow rumped warbler briefly.  No other warblers at 
all.  However, there were quite a lot of people including the wedding group 
near  or by the goose pond.

The grackle, blue jay, indigo buntings, and song sparrows  did a lot of 
fly-catching.

Butterfly-wise, there were a few cabbage ones plus one Question mark? 
Managed to take a photo of it.  I am no expert on lepos...
