Checklist Comments:    Sunny, hot, humid low wind morning but still pleasant up to the time we knocked off.  Probably undercounts on many of the more common species (chickadee, blackbird, cowbird), but good group consensus on others.  Nice group of birders/variety of experience.  Jeremiah Trimble was leading a larger group in front of us which slowed our progress but helped us to sit and pay attention.  In compensation, they found a golden-winged warbler which we were unable to locate although Merlin one time picked out its quite distinctive song from among a cacophony; sadly, we were unable to either hear or see it.
