Hi Peter,

With Rosh Hashanah today, the Tuesday walk drew the largest crowd I've ever seen for it—more than 40 people, including at least a few teachers/DOE employees. So it was a lot of fun. According to Birdcast there was almost no migration overnight, but the park still had a good diversity of species, probably leftovers from last weekend's big influx.

We found 59 species, including 17 warbler species, most of which were on the south side of the lake between the Hammerhead and Three Sisters. There was also a Green-winged Teal and Gadwall on the lake. And the Picnic House "creek" drew in birds to bathe on the unseasonably warm day: a Scarlet Tanager, Baltimore Oriole, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Wood Thrush, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker were seen bathing or perched in those woods.

Here is our eBird list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S275100602. Thanks to all who joined and Sheila and Angie for co-leading.
