Hi Peter,

It was chilly on the walk today, but that was preferable to last week's heatwave, and the first bird we found upon entering the park was a Yellow-throated Warbler, singing in a pine across from the Vanderbilt Playground. That was the highlight of the day, and a life bird for a bunch of folks. Other warblers included two Northern Yellows, a Louisiana Waterthrush on the south side of the lake, a Northern by the Lower Pool, and dozens of Yellow-rumps. Ruby-crowned Kinglets were also all over the park. A Rusty Blackbird was also on the Ambergill--that was one of the last birds of the morning. Thankfully it was sunny all morning, and the birds were singing.

We found 53 species. Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S325121424.

Thanks to the other Tuesday leaders, Angie Co and Megan Thornton. As attendance continues to grow--we had around 40 people--everyone benefits from having multiple experienced guides.
