Leaders Bobbi and Kathy Toomey

Hi Peter,

We had a nice long 7+ hour walk today.  8 or 9 participants including a visitor from AZ for whom we got a few life birds.  There are still lots of warblers, but also kinglets, junkos and chipping sparrows coming thru.  Butterfly and West Island were the most active.  Kathy, Karen and I persevered for the full duration, ending at Westwood which was also very active with chipping sparrows, phoebes, kinglets and i'm sure there's lots more hiding in there, given a little perseverance.

best,
Bobbi and Kathy for Tues walk
