Subject: BBC Walking in the Rain
Hi Peter,
Well, I wasn't even sure the walk was going to happen, as it was raining fairly hard when I got to the GAP arch. But there were people there (2) and one was from CA so I thought we needed to show him how we do birds in Brooklyn. We later added a couple more people to total 6 overall.
In spite of the rain, it was incredibly birdy in the park; one of the birdiest days I've seen in a long time. Since I've been away, maybe you've had these numbers during the week, but it was really great and we ended up with 80 species.
Highlights:
There were lots of numbers of just about each species. We had at least 7 Wilson's Warblers, 10+ Magnolia, a Prairie, a couple of Bay-breasted, several Blackpoll and so on.
We also had 6 species of flycatchers including at least 3 Leasts...
There were lots of swallows on the lake including 4+ bank and at least one cliff.
Add to all of that 2 Lincoln's Sparrows, many singing Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, 2 Indigo Buntings, Orchard Oriole....
And, thanks to Sean Sime's tweet, we went up to Lookout and got some looks at the Mourning Warbler up there.
All in all quite a day.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
