Hi Peter,
We had a good and hardy group today, including several people from Europe and the Middle East. It was pretty slow, though, with only 7 species of warblers, although one was a Mourning on lookout.Besides the Mourning Warbler, the best bird of the day was the caterpillar. I haven't had a chance to try and ID it, but probably Steve or others will know. Picture attached.
Best regards,
Tom
Tom
addendum:
After consultation with Steve Nanz, the caterpillar was ID as Tiger Swallowtail, turning green after the larvae stage and the bright yellow striped butterflies that are common around here.
