Hi Peter,

Good seeing you in the park on a beautiful (if not very birdy....) day.

We were, eventually, able to pull out 53 species...but birds were very few and far between. The highlights were Merlin, providing some great views, perching and flying and catching a dragonfly; and 3 Green-winged Teal and 2 Gadwall...

As for warblers....mostly parulas.....and Golden-crowned Kinglets  (almost warblers....)

Here's the list.

Best regards,

Tom
