We then went to National Park Drive where we also ran into Mike and Corinne Schall.

There was also a nice count of 8 Swainson's Thrushes.
And the following photo's orientation is correct. I saw this White-breasted Nuthatch hanging completely upside-down on an outer branch of a tree and got this photo of it.
Adam Miller and I then went to the Arrow Island Overlook and walked that loop, which produced Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe, Red-eyed Vireo, Wood Thrush, Ovenbird, Hooded, Tennessee, and Northern Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, Northern Parula, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and 4 more Swainson's Thrushes, raising the morning's total to 12.
