April 26th Prospect Thursday

Leading : Tom Stephenson

From Tom Stephenson , Thursday BBC walk






Hi Peter,



We had a great group today, about 20 or so, that braved the cold and clouds to help uncover some good birds. Warbler species were a bit scarce, but we had some really good birds including Cerulean Warbler, Ovenbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Peregrine (twice..), Great Egret and Laughing Gull. Lots of Yellow-rumps, several Warbling Vireos seem to be in, 3 Hairy Woodpecker territories, and tons of robins making nests...



Here's the list.



Best regards,

Tom
