Hi Peter-

A little slower despite the promising birdcast for the prior evening, but we had one of our largest groups ever - 17 attendees. 39 species today mostly sticking to Pier 1. 

Those signs that spring migration is winding down, female Blackpoll Warblers, fed in the locust trees on the Harbor Lawn along with a few males. The whole group go nice looks at a male Chestnut-sided Warbler over the Long pond, and all morning we were buzzed by several flocks of Cedar Waxwings circling over. One flock was over 30 birds. 

Will see everyone next week for the last outing of the season!

Mike
