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
