Hi Thursday Birders.
Right now the prediction is for thunderstorms tomorrow. If so, sadly, we'll have to cancel the walk.
I'll send out another note later today if anything changes.
I'll also post a note on the Brooklyn Bird Club FB page late tonight or, if there's an overnight change, in the early AM Thursday.
Fingers crossed the system will move somewhere else (although we do need the rain...)
Ever since Eleanor almost froze to death on a rainy Thursday walk, I've decided to be a bit more cautious!
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,It was a really beautiful day today in the park. And, especially in the north end, very birdy. There clearly was a good flight into the park last night.Below is the list.Highlights included Great Cormorant (!), 21 species of warblers including Bay-breasted, a couple of Tennessee, Prairie, Blackpoll, Pine, Palm, and lots of Redstarts and Northern Paruuuulas...., and 2 or 3 Gray-cheeked Thrushes.One highlight was Michele finding a Connecticut Warbler on the peninsula, not far from the shelter. She had a brief look and we couldn't re-find it but later Kathy Toomey did find it again in the same area.Here's the list.Best regards,Tom
