Hi Peter,
Great seeing you in the park today. Glad you got the Cape Mays.
We had a fun walk, with great weather and a very birdy park. No huge fallout flocks, but it seemed like there were birds just about everywhere.
We had 87 species including 21 species of warblers. There was, by the way, great pressure to beat the species count of what sounds like a great walk last week, led by Ed. And thanks very much to Ryan, Ed and Valerie for filling in while I was away.
And very glad to have Bobbi help with the walk today.

Highlights today were probably the racoons on the bridge over the lullwater, Caspian Tern, four species of thrush and a good number of well-behaved warblers.

Here's the list.

Best regards,
Tom
