Peter-

We had a lovely final spring outing this morning. Thankfully the rain held off. Started at the large locust trees by the River Cafe which have been active lately, and found several Blackpolls and a White-breasted Nuthatch, uncommon for the park. Also had a Common Loon flyover from that spot. 

The "condo path" between Piers 1 and 2 had the most warbler activity, with Wilson's, Black-and-white, and Common yellowthroat around.  

On Pier 3, we caught up with a Lincoln's Sparrow, before heading back to Pier 1, observing Common Grackle and Red-winged blackbird nests along the way. 

Looking forward to the fall, when we'll resume walks.

Thanks,
Mike
