Hi Peter,
We had a very good group today, 15 very patient people! The day started very slowly with very few birds. Even our initial tour of Lookout yielded very few warblers.
However persistence eventually paid off, as well as the skills of the participants, and we ended up with 16 species of warblers
and some other really good birds (like perched Common Nighthawk thanks to keen eye of Janet Schumacher)
I think the sound check for the concert drove the really good birds over to the lullwater....including Pine and Bay-breasted....
Here's the list with a few comments.
Best regards,
Tom
