Fwd: Tuesday walk BBC recap



"The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year - the days when summer is changing into autumn - the crickets spread the rumour of sadness and change."

Hi Peter,

Today was our first Tuesday walk of the season and we got off to a good start. The south side of the lake from the Hammerhead to Three Sisters was the most active, with a nice variety of warblers down there. The best sightings, though, were two Least Sandpipers on the Lefrak splash pad, momentarily joined by a pair of Greater Yellowlegs calling loudly; the yellowlegs didn't stay put, taking off as quickly as they appeared. Who needs Plumb Beach when you have flooded concrete?

Here is our list for the day: https://ebird.org/checklist/S271122335. We saw or heard 44 species. Thanks to Megan Thornton for co-leading and all the other experienced regulars in the group.
