Attachewd is my subject Trip Report. I have attempted to capture all birds seen by anyone on the trip as best I was told of their sightings.
Location(s): Delaware Water Gap/Stokes State Forest
Date: 05/30/2009

As was obvious during nthe trip, we had a great day: 89 Total Species, 17 Warblers(a8 if BWXGW Hybrid is counted).

A great raptor showing as well. Flycatchers were the only real lax part with 6.

Overall a great trip with lots of good looks for everyone.

Best regards,
