Hi Peter,
I subbed for Bobbi today on the first Tuesday walk of the season. We had a great group that was treated to some excellent sightings. We found the Prothonotary Warbler, which continues at West Island, foraging in the low branches of the island before it moved even closer to the near bank. We couldn't walk five feet without bumping into a ruby-crowned kinglet or hermit thrush. We watched a yellow-bellied sapsucker, also common today, live up to its name, eating from a river of sap that ran down a beech tree near the paved path east of Lookout. The pair of blue-winged teals, seen both at the Upper Pool and later on the Lullwater, was also a wonderful sight. And we saw Louisiana Waterthrushes in three different locations: West Island, Nethermead Arches, and the Binnen Bridge.
Thanks to all who came out! Here's to a great season, and here's our list:
