Lena,
In addition to the blue grosbeak, the only other late addition I would add to
the list is an osprey. It was a flyover, but definitely in the area.

All,
For those who saw a grosbeak at the end of our walk (~11am today near the farm
house) did a little work on the photo, which is heavily backlit. Found some
brown streaks on the wing that seem consistent with a blue grosbeak. Thoughts?
