Leader : Tom Stephenson


Here's a list of what we saw yesterday. We had about 10 people for the trip. It threatened rain and drizzled a bit now and then, but all in all a nice fall day.
We had 10 species of warblers, but oddly, very few sparrows...Not even large numbers of White-throats yet.

Best regards,
Tom
