Hi Peter,

Great walk today with Paul leading and about 20+ people. I mentioned to Paul I'd send a list and it includes a few things a "tail" of the group saw after the main group dispersed.

Very birdy, as you know, with lots of great warblers. We had 20 species including at least 4 Cape May, 3 Blackburnian, at least 2 Tennessee and a brilliant Canada. We also had Least Flycatcher (FOY?) (it vocalized after you left confirming our ID) and many other birds. Here's the list:

Hi Peter,


It turned out my meeting was delayed until the afternoon so I was able to attend part of the walk today. Ed co-led and then took over after I left and he may have sent you a list.

We had about 20 people for the walk, and it was definitely birdy in most of the park.

Here's what we saw when I was there plus a WOEWA and WHCRSP Ed had on his way to meeting place. Highlights, maybe Cape May Warbler at MD Mon, Indigo Bunting on path just L from monument. 17 species of warblers including early Blackpoll.

See you in the park.

Best regards,

Tom

April 30th Prospect

From Tom Stephenson ,leading the BBC walk.

Hi Peter,

We had a good group today of over 30 avid birders, most birding until after noon, some until 2:30 or so.

It was a bit "lumpy" with slow spots and hot spots. Overall we had 82 species including 19 species of warblers and 4 species of vireo.

We missed the Bobolink and nightjar, but did get Marsh Wren, Least Sandpiper and 5 Common Loon flying over just before 7am.

Let me know if you'd like any more information on any of these.

Best regards,

Tom
