Hi Peter,

We had a very beautiful day for our walk, today. And there was a lot of bird activity in the park.
We tallied 52 species including 14 species of warblers. Highlights included Least and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, huge numbers of Chestnut-sided and Black-and-white Warblers plus Canada, Blackburnian, Magnolia, Prairie, Ovenbird and others.

Here's the list and a couple of photos.
