Prospect foggy moderate fallout Birdathon Day

My annual 30 warbler club has been renewed. This morning's very active birding on International Migratory Bird Day ("Birdathon") of which I am not a participant, got me two new warbler species for my 30 warbler species . With TENNESSEE and BAY BREASTED WARBLERS along the West Island/"Hammerhead" Peninsula shoreline, I am a happy camper...

Fog conditions continue to trap birds and birders can see the fruits dripping off a number of trees,particularly oak trees. I received reports of 20 species warblers already recorded (I had 17)  and 65 bird species overall in Prospect with not so favorable light and contrast conditions making it a challenge for identification. Nevertheless, there's birds and I advise one to get out and enjoy today's spectacle which should be active all day.

I will and should get reports late tonight and team totals and placings...

Below is my personal list before I left the park by 840am.  Enjoy good birding.
