This is the last group fall walk.
Hi Peter and Rob,
The Tuesday walk regulars met one more time today, sans Rob.
Early morning fog on the ballfields eventually burned off and we had a beautiful day netting 56 species (Kathy adding coot, redstart, r/e vireo, red-tailed hawk and *Hooded* via post walk text update). A huge MURDER of crows flew over us on Lookout, nothing 'attempted' with this lot. Sora still present. A late (per eBird) Scarlet Tanager gave us some nice looks on Butterfly. Janet got us some nice documentation shots to appease the eBird checkbox ;-)
The sparrow-bowl was pretty dead, but Breeze Hill had Chipping, Juncos and White-throats.
As the group was breaking up, Kathy decided to give Lookout one more chance, we hadn't seen the Hooded in the morning. After finding the before mentioned coot, redstart and r/e vireo, she texted me she was calling it quits (so i knew it was ok to send you the final list). Luckily i was out running errands because 10 minutes later she texted me one last time. Patience won the day and she saw the male hooded in the same area Gus previously reported.
List below.
