Hi Peter,

The numbers were with the palm (over 30) and blackpoll (over 10). All on list below were at Pier 1.

It was windy so I'm sure there were plenty of birds hiding under cover as well.

I know this isn't that great compared to Prospect, but for Pier 1 at BBP this is a very good day!

Best,
Heather
