I managed to get up early on Saturday and go out to Mt. Auburn. Abundant early warblers; had palm, n. parula, b&w, black-throated green, yellow-rumped, all in good abundance. I walked around with another birder who found me good looks at a blue-headed vireo, which I wouldn't've gotten a lock on by myself. Bonus of excellent (close) looks at a calling red-bellied woodpecker, and some amusement at a red-tailed hawk crashing around in a shrubbery.

Sunday, I hadn't found an opportunity (and was grumpy about it) by 5pm, but then escaped to join Mark at Great Meadows just after 5. It was windy and not very birdy, but we got nice looks at a couple of blue-gray gnatcatchers, and I flipped logs until I came up with a red back salamander.
