Hi Peter,

Today was a bit misty (maybe verklempt because it was the last Spring thursday walk...) without a lot of bird action. But it was still a fun walk with a great group.

I guess the bird of the day was an Acadian Flycatcher "singing" near Rick's Place, initially heard by mystery birder "M". Hopefully it will be nesting in that area again.

Here's the list of 49 species, including a very small number of warblers.

Best regards,

Tom
