"I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift." — Dodinsky

Hi Peter,

We've been lucky with the Tuesday walks this season, getting good weather and some good pulses of migration on multiple occasions. Today was no exception. We had 69 species. It grew so warm that there were a few insect hatch-outs around the park, including one along the Lullwater, by Music Island, that drew in a bunch of warblers, vireos, kinglets, nuthatches, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. At the start of the walk, a huge swarm of Chimney Swifts fed over the lake and Parkside Avenue. There were also a bunch of Scarlet Tanagers around.

Here's our eBird list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S276524153.

Thanks to Angie and Sheila for co-leading and all the participants (including one birder from Colorado!) who made it such an enjoyable outing.
