Prospect Oct 1st

Hilight today was HOODED WARBLER, reported by Eni Falci

Hi Peter-


Here in park bird of the day was a female hooded warbler at midday on wooded hill behind Rick's place before Long Meadow -Sullivan Hill. Got good looks before it flew down slope toward Rick's. Also got a glimpse of a possible male hooded at Dongon's Oak eagle statue area but too short a look to be sure. Other good birds first yellowbellied sapsucker for me and 2 pied billed grebes at pink beach/Peninsula. Still many northern parulas and common yellow throats. Most active areas Dongon's oak and Peninsula. Ruby throated hummingbird still being faithful to Binnen/Nethermead arch area with Jewel weed.
