The BBC is grateful towards Tom and Rob Bate for leading the weekday walks this spring. Migration is winding down, but as soon as u blink, those birds will be back in fall ( starting in August).

From Tom:
Hi Peter,
Well, it was a bit wet,, then even more wet...and the woods were a bit emptier than in our prior Thursday walks. However we were able to pull out a few good sightings.
Our best birds were probably a large Snapping Turtle....a R-T Hummingbird on its nest....first year male and female Indigo Buntings, a calling Acadian Flycatcher, and lots of Blackpoll.
We did finally have 53 species, list below
Best regards,
Tom
