Hi Peter,
We had a beautiful and quite birdy day today. A good group of 40-50 people, and birds in various pockets, especially in the south end of the park. We ended up with 58 species including 14 species of warblers.
Highlights were probably the 5 common nighthawks migrating, and many black-and-white and northern parulas.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
