Hi Peter,

Well, we had a committed group of 9 that waited out the rain until about 8:45 in the gazebo and then headed out. There were tons of Yellow-rumped warblers and we ended up with 52 species all total, however not many warblers other than the plethora of yellow-rumps
.
There were many Eastern Towhee, maybe 15 or more, plus a singing Brown Thrasher, Blue-headed Vireo, Osprey, Spotted Sandpiper, several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers...and did I say lots and lots of Yellow-rumps??

Here's the list.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,

We have a great walk today in the Park. There was a large group of birders (40??) and even more birds.
Highlights included Osprey, American Kestrel, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, lots of Pine and Palm Warblers, a cooperative Louisiana Waterthrush, 8 species of Sparrows including Field and Savannah (and Towhee and Junco), and 2 Rusty Blackbirds.

Here's the list and a few photos in case we can post those on our FB site.
(Let me know if that's something I can/should do.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,

we had 22 people at the start of today's walk!  It was a beautiful day, you couldn't ask for nicer weather.  Unfortunately the birds were not out celebrating.  We dipped on both the Yellow-throated Warbler and the Solitary Sandpiper, but did manage to find the LOWA which was a life birds for 4 people!  We tallied a respectable 50 species,but we had to work for them.

Best,
Bobbi, Kathy, Rob

Peter,

The Sesquicentennial walk was a lot of fun. 12 birders met on an unseasonably cool April Fools day morning. The highlight was without a doubt the continuing Goshawk found again fittingly by Kathy Toomey this day. The bird gave great looks for at least ten minutes. 41 species total on the morning.

Best,

Dennis
