Checklist Comments:    Sue and I drove to Hamlin Beach SP and walked the Yanty Creek Trail to the boardwalk into the marsh, then to the next bench on what would be a counter clockwise loop hike. We spent some time spishing and with a few owl imitations at the two benches and out on the marsh boardwalk. Same as on 9/15. Generally pretty quiet and no warblers. We did have a nice time with a screech owl that came in and called for a bit, then answered again later when we were on the end bench of our walk. Also had calls from all three of the larger number migrant thrushes, with the Hermit Thrushes our first of the fall and on the early end historically.
