BBC Prospect Park Thursday walk May 3rd

Leader Tom Stephenson:


From Tom Stephenson


BBC Thursday walk ( From Grand Army plaza)

Hi Peter,


Good seeing you today. We had a hearty group of about 20 that braved the misty weather. Lots of bird activity and a good number of species: about 70 total including 18 species of warblers. Probably 4 Blackburnian, lots of Nashville, close Prairie and Blue-winged, several Scarlet Tanagers, two Yellow-throated Vireo, a Worm-eating on my way out of the Vale, which was still active around 1:30 with singing Blackburnian, Parula, Northern Waterthrush and more. Fun day.


Best regards,

Tom
