Hi Peter,

See below for the list of birds.  It was a great group of birders, I really enjoyed birding with all of them.  We had a total of 10 participants.  I have attached one group photo, but I know that Alan B.  took some really nice photos, so If you want I can ask him to send them to you.  Barbara alo took photos, and I can ask her to send them as well, let me know!

Good fall birding!
Heydi
