Hi Peter,
Good seeing you today.

We had a fun walk on a beautiful day. It wasn't super birdy but once again there were some good ones. Highlights were 3 Orchard Orioles, a Worm-eating Warbler that was moving fast but at least stayed in our area for a long time; a flyover Common Loon, Field Sparrow, 10 species of warblers and 60 species overall. Not too bad for the day after northerly winds.

Here's the list. I'll post a few pictures on the FB site.

Best regards,
Tom
