Peter,

Below is the day list from this morning's Green-Wood Cemetery walk. There were 14 participants, including myself. 

The highlight of the walk was nice looks at a Mourning Warbler at Dell Water.

I decided to end the walk early as a pretty massive storm system was heading directly our way. All said, any day you get to see a Mourning Warbler and Little Blue Heron just 50 yards away from each other is pretty good IMHO.

I've shared the list on eBird with everyone, however, I'm not sure they all have accounts, so have copied them on this email.

Good birding and LET'S GO CYCLONES!

Rob

PS - I was not able to take pics of the MOWA as I was busy getting the group on it. Perhaps someone else did and can share it.
