Hi Peter,
Well, we had a very hardy group of birders today out braving the elements. Actually other than it being freezing cold with lots of wind it was a great fall day.
Although at first there weren't many birds as brave as the birders, eventually they came out in full force, and we ended up with 62 species. Possibly due to the wind and cold, birds were moving very fast so some of the sightings were too brief; but in the end, most birds provided multiple views.
Hot spots were Lookout and the Lullwater. Highlights include 19 species of warblers with Hooded twice (once by the upper pool, mostly just heard, and then displaying very well in the lullwater); 5 species of woodpeckers, 2 Raccoons, Veery, Wood, Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes; 2 kinglet species; Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting and Philadelphia Vireo.
Here's the list and a couple of rough photos.
Best regards,
Tom
