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

First: I promised to send out the list from the Sept 1 Thursday walk today, but I don't know exactly who was on the walk (or their email names) so I'm sending this out to the old Thursday list, when we had to register. Please let me know if you'd like to be off the list!And if I've missed someone you know (Maybe Michael isn't on this?) please feel free to forward.Hi Peter,It was a beautiful day today, with a strong enough breeze to combat any heat other than in the most exposed spots.There were a lot of birds in the park, many very early in the season for that species.Highlights: On the raptor front, Bald Eagle (probably 5th year bird, still a subadult), Black and Turkey Vultures.On the flycatcher front: 7 species including Olive-sided, Yellow-bellied, Acadian and Least.On the warbler front (lots of fronts...) Prairie, a very early Blackpoll, Nashville; 13 species totalOther notables: Winter Wren, Gray-cheeked Thrush (very early???), and Pied-billed Grebe.Here's the list.Everyone, please let us know if I've missed anything.Best regards,Tom
