"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson

Hi Peter,
It was a cold but very birdy day in the park. And a great group. I co-led with Chris Miller (and another shadow guide), which was really fun. Over all we had 53 species with a few key highlights including Summer Tanager, Cerulean, Worm-eating, Nashville, Prairie and Blue-winged Warblers; and a White-eyed Vireo.
Migration is ramping up.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
