Prospect BBC Tuesday Oct 7th walk

From Tuesday morning,the BBC walk led by Bobbi Manian and Kathy Toomey

(Bobbi reporting)

Kathy and I filled in for Rob today.  Along with Emily and Gus we had an initially quiet morning.  Baseball fields had savannah and chipping sparrows and a few palms.  Lookout was fairly quiet, Kathy had at Black-throated Blue.  As has been the case for the Thursday and weekend walks, things picked up on the south end of park by lake and 3-sisters.  Gus spotted a red-breasted nuthatch.  We saw the Great Cormorant on a buoy between 3-sisters and peninsula.   Kathy found a late (for eBird) yellow warbler and willow flycatcher.   We did not cover lullwater or peninsula.  

Best,
Bobbi
