Prospect Park May 7th

Leader : Paul Sweet

List submitted courtesy of Tom Stephenson

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:

Tom
