Mount Auburn and dissappointment

Usually a Mount Auburn Cemetery visit is wonderful, as all the warblers flying through tend to converge there.  I've seen 19 species in one morning there.  This time there was a wind and photography was very difficult.  Here are a few images, but I wish I could show you more quality.
There was also a very disturbing sight of a dead Great Horned Owl lying face down in the little pool at "the Dell", and that was a sad sight indeed.
