Hi Peter,
In addition to being a really beautiful day, T/hursday was one of the birdiest days I remember in the park. There were warblers and thrushes almost everywhere.
We ended up with 69 species including 20 species of warblers (even though we missed Yellow and Palm, which we know were in the other end of the park...)
Highlights included very cooperative Cape May, Bay-breasted, Tennessee, Wilson's, Canada and Blackburnian Warblers, Philadelphia Vireo, and lots of other species. We also had first-of-season (for me at least) White-throated Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos. Winter is coming...
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
