We had nine people and comfortable weather at
the Auburn YMCA property on Stetson Rd. The birds of the day were a
cooperative Northern Waterthrush which most if not all folks saw and a
Canada Warbler which only a few were able to see (I did not get on it).
Otherwise there were a number of good warbler pockets. This is a
wonderful area open to the public.
