Peter,

A dozen or so birders met at the Pergola and birded the south side of the park. Highlights were a cooperative black Billed Cuckoo spotted by Ben Garron-Caine, a male cape may Warbler spotted by Tim Graves, 14 Warbler species and 57 species total. It was also nice running into Tom's Audubon group on wellhouse and Cyrus' noon group along the lullwater with Michele Dreger sighting. There were something like 50-60 birders and half a dozen BBC Trip leaders on walks in the park today.

Looking forward to the next cold front.

Best,

Dennis
