First up, while searching for the Curlew, I came across a male Wilson's Phalrope. I was glad to be able to share this sighting with many other birders. And that karma was reciprocated later when Brian Small put us all on a female Red-Necked Phalarope. This was my first time seeing the female in breeding plumage and I have to say it's one heckuva beautiful bird.

At nearby spots we saw Orchard Orioles, Blue Grosbeaks, White-Eyed Vireos, and heard Yellow-Breasted Chats.
We then stopped at Belleplain State Forest where we saw the resident Yellow-Throated Warblers, Worm-Eating Warblers and Hooded Warblers. Alas, we could not find a Summer Tanager. I'll have to return later this year to try again for that species
