May 10th Thursday Prospect walk

Results of BBC thursday walk


From leader Tom Stephenson:



Another great day. We had about 25 people who braved what looked like rain, but then turned great.

The Park is still very busy, and we had activity in just about every part we had time to visit.



Some highlights:

83 species, 20 warblers including Mourning (brief, unfortunately), at least 5 Blackburnian, 3 Canada, 2 Wilson's, Bay-breasted in great views, and more.




Flycatchers are beginning to show up. We had a Traill's sp, Least and another, probably Acadian. Also, thanks to Ann we had Phila Vireo and thanks to Bobby and Stanley a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest in the rose garden area!



Here's the list.



Best regards,

Tom
