Wompatuck State Park, May 24, 2012, 6:30am
Gorgeous weather in the 70's with little wind made the last of these Thursday morning forays a delight. Although the consensus is that migration is over, nine of us enjoyed tracking down many summer residents at Gates 8 and 9, South Pleasant Street, Picture Pond, and Holly Pond. Veerys, Black-and-white Warblers, and Worm-eating Warblers were most cooperative for excellent looks. A Winter Wren kept one hop ahead of us along a stream and a Cuckoo on a high branch kept us guessing about his identity.

there is no entry for sp.; the bird was slinking along a high tree branch in tough light and no one saw his bill or undertail to make a definite id.
