Mt. Auburn 5/3

From Chris Floyd:

A very pleasant early morning with no wind.  We could have had a bit more sun.

More activity with brighter sunshine as I was leaving.  With an errand to run, I came back just before lunch to look for Cliff Cook's Kentucky Warbler (see his message).  I encountered many who had looked but none who had seen that bird.  No further useful details.  I did do a circuit of the Dell, listening closely, but came up with no hint of Kentucky.
