I was there from 7:45 to 8:20 this morning, and just wandered from the
Nursing Home Parking lot to the small bridge and back. It was full of
Flickers, E.Wood-pewees, Chickadees, Robins, Red-eyed Vireos, and 6 species
of Warbler, with quite a few Parulas in particular.  I'm afraid I didn't
pay any attention to any insects.
