Possibly seen/heard, but ID not confident:

• Cooper's Hawk
• Northern Goshawk
  
• Red-shouldered Hawk
• Chestnut-sided Warbler
  
• Canada Warbler
  

Significant misses:

• Great Horned Owl
• White-eyed Vireo
• Yellow Warbler
  
• Blue-winged Warbler?
• Blackburnian Warbler
  
• Blackpoll Warbler
• Indigo Bunting?
• Purple Finch
  

Birds with question-marks are listed as being relatively common on the 1992 checklist, but I am skeptical that suitable habitat still exists, or that they remain common.
