This week I camped on Cumberland Island for three days.  These are the
highlights:

Parulas and Yellow-thrtd warblers were most common and all were very busy
feeding young.  It looked like they had a good year nesting.

Many:
gnatcatchers
cardinals
carolina wrens

Others:
cowbirds (I would like to know what nests they parasitize)
redwing blackbirds
screech owl (in camp)
grackles
mockingbird

Over water:
many white ibis
pelicans
cattle egrets
2 skimmers
least tern colony at sea camp area (Is there any management of this colony to
keep raccoons away from the nests?)

A few more but nothing out of the ordinary.  No painted buntings.
