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.

Tom
