Peter,
A dozen birders had an active start to the day with nearly a dozen warbler species on duck island where we spent over an hour.
Other highlights were Lincoln sparrow which you found on butterfly meadow Wilson's warbler indigo bunting a pair of king fisher and brown creeper.
A real team effort everyone in the group found birds and contributed to the species count of 60 within 15 warbler. We continued to work on out fall vocalizations and aged and sexed as many birds in the field as we could. A fun day with lots to talk about.
Today's list was kept by Lenny Goldstein.
Nice seeing you,
Dennis
