Hi Peter-
We had a pleasant final Wednesday Migration Morning of the fall season. Plenty of birds leftover from Tuesday's pulse of migration. 13 attendees and I saw a good variety of sparrows and a not-every day Peregrine Falcon as highlights.
The best nature highlight was a roosting Silver-haired Bat in the Pier 4 uplands area. It unfortunately might not be doing well as it has lingered in the area for a few days. A ranger came by shortly after and the patient is with a rehabber now.
Great to be out in the park this season and look forward to doing these outings again next spring.
