Peter,
Here is the day list from the FBF trip I led on Saturday. It was a good day with a great group of people. I especially enjoyed finding lots of life birds for our visiting Belgian birder.

Hi Peter,
It was a really nice Fall day, a bit muggy at first, but not very birdy, unfortunately., We did get to 45 species (and I may be missing some).
The bird of the day was a woodchuck......next up was probably starling...no wait....blue-winged teal...no wait, monarchs reproducing....
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom

Peter,
A good group of birders gathered at the pergola and managed to pull out 57 species on a day that saw many birds leave the park.
Highlights were, rusty black bird, white crown, chipping, swamp and savannah sparrows.
A fun close to the season thank you all for attending and thank you for letting me represent club.

Hi Peter,
Good seeing you in the park.
We had a very small group, probably due to the rain. But notably we had a birder from Belgium and also two from the UK, as well as one from Costa Rica...(Rafael!) All but the Costa Rica guy got multiple lifers, which is always fun.
Eventually the weather cleared and became a nice, blustery Fall day. Unfortunately, there weren't many birds in the park, but after all we were able to dig up 54 species....
The highlights were ten species of Sparrows including 2 Clay-colored, Vesper (not the one at the ball fields), and a white-crowned.
Here's the list. I'll send some photos later.
Best regards,
Tom

Peter, Slim pickins today but a few highlights in a 43 bird day for the 6 of us completing the Tuesday walks while Bobbi's counting life birds in Chile. We had a White-crowned Sparrow (juvie) by LP 249 and there was pretty good activity there. There was an Indigo Bunting near there as well that offered brief looks. Later by the Tennis House edges we found a weird sparrow mixed in with a flock of house sparrows and it turned out to be a Clay-colored Sparrow! Thanks all for a good walk.

Peter,
Slower day today with 55 species and 11 warblers but a good group. We had time to really work on age and sex of birds, warblers, sparrows and raptors in particular. I really tried to make the group work for the species ids and they didn't disappoint with Tim and Patty getting some very challenging fall warblers. We were also lucky enough to hear a raven which We really enjoyed.
Ok one more to go hoping for a big sparrow day next week.

Hi Peter,
We had a large group today, which almost outnumbered the birds, although we eventually dug up about 57 species including 12 species of warblers.
It looks like the tail-end migrants are slowly trickling in. We had several yellow-rumps and pines. But so far no numbers of blackpolls...
Highlights might have been lots of Black-throated Blue Warblers, several Indigo Buntings, and a slightly demented mouse.
Here's the list

Hi Peter,
What a difference a week makes! Today's walk was so birdy (in spots) that Ed Crowne had time to see us, say hello, go swimming and come back thru the park and remark that we had barely moved at all.
Highlights included a male and female Indigo Bunting by the dirt pile, the world's blandest Chestnut-sided (thankfully we had all studied The Warbler Guide's undertail views!), a drop in green-wing teal, and opportunities to study all three of the warbler species w/ yellow-rumps.
We went for over 7 hours, (Lenny had to phone home for an Alternate Side car move) and we all left the park begrudgingly due to fatigue and other commitments.
Rob will be covering for me next week (final walk). It has been a great Fall with a dedicated group of regulars who were a joy to bird with. See you all in the Spring!
Thanks to Lenny for doing the list again this week.
Best,
B.

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.
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
