Hi Peter,
The rains were kind yesterday and we had a very pleasant day. The birds were spotty, and parts of the park were very quiet, but we did finally end up with 64 species/18 species of warblers.
After the walk M and I ran into Crystal's group of 10-year olds and accompained them on a successful mission to see a green heron, a lifer for most. I applaud Crystal's ongoing birding modules with these enthusiastic kids, as I'm a birder due to a similar program by a 4th grade teacher. Teachers matter!
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
