Hi Peter,
Wet....very wet....but actually also really birdy, especially at the southern end of the park. There seemed to be a very large flock of warblers, including maybe 20 Northern Parulas, that were slowly going South starting around the West Island area. Once they hit the lawn near the rink they turned around and streamed somewhere north, maybe to start the route again.
It was really a very nice Fall day, with lots of wild flowers, albeit a little cold. (one or two of our group may have suffered hypothermia...??!)
We had 17 species of warblers including Tennessee, Wilson's, Blackburnian, a Nashville on the LeFrak roof, 1 Pine, lots of Parulas, and the beginning of the Yellow-rumped invasion...Also a female Wigeon near the peninsula west of west island.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
