Hi Peter,

Yesterday's walk was the best of the season for our Tuesday crew, perhaps the last big rush of migrants of this spring. We knew it was going to be a good day when upon coming into the park at Vanderbilt St. we encountered a mixed flock of warblers that included a Canada and several Magnolias. Magnolia Warblers were out in good numbers yesterday, as were Blackpolls, redstarts, Wilson's, and Bay-breasted. We had 20 warbler species, which included a Mourning Warbler above the Wellhouse and a late, singing Pine Warbler on the Quaker Ridge near the Falkill Path. Flycatchers were also present--we heard Acadian, Yellow-bellied, and Least, along with several pewees.

We had 74 species in all. It was an exceptional day, with a large, fun group. Here is the day's list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S240691964.

We'll be back next Tuesday with the final outing of the season.
