Having seen almost all of the warbler species, I focused more on trying to find a Gray-cheeked Thrush. I went back to National Park Drive and checked some of the thrush habitats there. I found 3 Swainson's Thrushes but no Gray-cheeked. Also seen there were Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Yellow-throated and Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Veery, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, and warblers that included Ovenbird, Tennessee, Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, Black-and-white, Yellow-rumped, American Redstart, Northern Parula, and Louisiana Waterthrush.
A stop at Lake Minsi produced Double-crested Cormorant, Eastern Kingbird, Purple Martin, and 5 Bank Swallows and one Cliff Swallow among the Tree, Barn, and Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
At nearby Bear Swamp, I found Osprey, Hairy Woodpecker, Great Crested Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Common Raven, Eastern Bluebird, Veery, Wood Thrush, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, and Magnolia Warbler.
The Tatamy Exit retention pond held 4 Semipalmated Plovers, 3 Spotted Sandpipers, 4 Lesser Yellowlegs, 19 Least Sandpipers, and 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
There were still 26 Snow Geese at Green Pond. Also in the ponds along the paved path were 2 Spotted Sandpipers, 2 Solitary Sandpipers, 2 Greater Yellowlegs, one Least Sandpiper, and an Eastern Kingbird. A Great Blue Heron was in the wooded pond by the intersection.
