************************* From Adam : Hi Peter
Blustery, cool day but still very active. The sort of day where a
determined person would find something rare. I was taking it easy,
though, and my mid-morning walk didn't throw up anything crippling,
but it was a good one anyway. Surveyed Breeze Hill, Lookout and,
briefly, the Peninsula. Lotsa Siskins, and quite a few of the late
warblers. Only one probably Blackpoll/possible Pine, seen poorly on
the Peninsula.
Cheers!
Adam

From Rafael:
Peter:
Late walk around PP. Mostly dark skies, and windy.
The big surprise was to see 10 sps of warblers, and being 1 Ovenbird, the rarest one.
Lots os White-throated Sparrows, almost everywhere I looked. Fair numbers of Swamp & Chipping Sparrows. At least 2 Purple Finches. I missed the Siskins, Creepers & Red-breasted Nuthatch.
And tomorrow PP, is off limits for birding, a bike race + rock concert at Nethermead.
