Results of BBC Thurs walk

Leading (and reporting): Tom Stephenson


Hi Peter,
Well, we had a great group, over 30 people, which almost outnumbered the birds....it was pretty slow in general. We did end up with 50 species and the highlights were a singing Brown Thrasher, several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, at least 2, probably 3 White-eyed Vireos, Great Crested Flycatcher, and Eastern Kingbird.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
