May 21st Tuesday Prospect Walk ( final)

Leader Rob Bate

reported by Bobbi Manian


Hi Peter and Rob,

Today was the final Tuesday migration walk.  All of the regulars from our merry band were in attendance.  

Here is today's list.  Of note:

over 20 Blackpolls, mostly female, signifying end of migration :-(
Northern Harrier flyover on Lookout
Good looks at female Prairie, not seen for a week or so, on side of Lookout at a termite hatchout
Good looks at a female RB Grosbeak - also on side of Lookout
2Common Loons flyover - also on Lookout 
Emily heard and saw Willow Flycatcher and brought the group back for good looks (also on Lookout - do you sense a theme?)
Rob pre-spotted a grey-cheek on Penna yesterday and made sure entire group got on it today

Rob  - Thanks so much for your generous time this spring!  The Tuesday walks have been a highlight of migration!

Best,
Bobbi
