Hi Peter,
Well, our robust group of 40+ people had a very birdy day in the park. Much of the activity was in the north end, indicating birds ready to leave...but we asked them to please stay until after the Birdathon. Most tweeted back OK.

We finally gathered 73 species, including 20 warblers. There were a lot of Tennessees singing, tons of Northern Parulas, 4 Canadas, all singing; we heard and then found a nice Bay-breasted on the way back through the Midwood as well as a Wilson's singing near the Vale. 
And more...here's the list.

Best regards,
Tom
