A Yellow-billed Cuckoo was a highlight on windy day at Huntington Reservation as we looked for southbound migrants feeding and resting after a flight across Lake Erie.  Seven species of warbler included five Magnolia Warblers and five Black-throated Blue Warblers.  Thanks to Rich and Karen Kassouf for sending our list to eBird.
