Hi Peter-
Nice not to see the forecasted drizzles this morning. While waiting for the group to assemble, a few of us saw some Raven activity on the Brookyln side of the Brookyln Bridge. A nice surprise, as earlier in the season we had seen a pair making a nest on the Manhattan side. 
10 attendees saw the continuing Prothonotary Warbler light up the Long Pond again. Somewhat slow compared to previous days, but we got to carefully study a White-Crowned Sparrow amongst the White-throateds, and get nice looks a trio of brown-russet-olive birds in the same spot- Wood Thrush, Ovenbird, and Carolina Wren. 
Best is yet to come next week
Mike

Hi Peter,
The floodgates stayed open for a second day with this wave of new arrivals. It felt a lot more like the second week of May than the last day of April. The highlights were many: just an incredible number of Northern Parulas singing everywhere, two Worm-eating Warblers on Lookout, a Cape May and Blackpoll on the SW side of the lake, and one of the last birds of the day, a Bay-breasted Warbler, by the broken stairs. At the Ambergill, which we went to after a coffee break at the Picnic House, we were treated to a number of warblers, like Nashville and Hooded, bathing in the creek. Our warbler count ended up at 21 species. Perhaps the biggest cheer though went to the male Scarlet Tanager we found above the Boulder Bridge, on a snag in the sunlight after the fog had lifted, the first of the season for most there (and a lifer for a few). 
Here is the list for what was a great day: https://ebird.org/checklist/S171174122
Angie and Sheila will be co-leading for Bobbi next week.

Hi Peter,

Well, as you no doubt know (we saw you out working on the MD Monument hillside...) it was cold and wet. BUT...there were some interesting sightings today.

Top of the list: American Bittern, spotted by Kendall, a new birder, up on Boulder Bridge. 

We also had a fly by Raven, a very early Great Crested Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, a Northern Parula, and two Savannah Sparrows.

Definitely an odd day. Cold but fun.

Hi Peter,

I subbed for Bobbi today on the first Tuesday walk of the season. We had a great group that was treated to some excellent sightings. We found the Prothonotary Warbler, which continues at West Island, foraging in the low branches of the island before it moved even closer to the near bank. We couldn't walk five feet without bumping into a ruby-crowned kinglet or hermit thrush. We watched a yellow-bellied sapsucker, also common today, live up to its name, eating from a river of sap that ran down a beech tree near the paved path east of Lookout. The pair of blue-winged teals, seen both at the Upper Pool and later on the Lullwater, was also a wonderful sight. And we saw Louisiana Waterthrushes in three different locations: West Island, Nethermead Arches, and the Binnen Bridge.

Thanks to all who came out! Here's to a great season, and here's our list:
