Today's BBC walk

Leading and reporting : Tom Stephenson

Hi Peter,

Good seeing you today. We had a fairly birdy but very beautiful walk today with a few over 20 people.
The list is below. Highlights were Blue-gray Gnatcatcher building a nest in the lullwater (photo attached), 8 warbler species including singing Palms, Yellow-rumps  and Pines, Hairy Woodpecker in nest cavity, some Rough-winged Swallows, Blue-winged Teal, 2 Great Egrets and Osprey as we exited the park.

Best regards,
Tom
