Hi Peter,

Such a beautiful day today. Great Fall weather.

The birds were a bit clumpy, though. But eventually we had some good sightings.

I've never seen so many Palm Warblers, easily 100+ in the park. Also 30 or so Wood Duck in the pools area. Other highlights: Orange-crowned and Tennesse by the containers near the Well House;  15 species of warblers in all; a crazy purple-laced Mourning Cloak butterfly; 2 Prairie Warblers, a White-crowned Sparrow on the LeFrak, lots of Yellow-rumps and some White-throated Sparrows....

Here's the list. I'll send some photos later today or tomorrow, including that butterfly.

Best regards,

Tom
