Hi Peter,
It was a really beautiful Fall day with a very large, enthusiastic group and, although very spotty, a good number of birds. We saw 74 species including 14 species of warblers. Highlights were ducks including a Ring-necked and a Green-winged Teal spotted by mystery birder M; raptors including a Kestrel, and migrating sharpie and cooper's; and a very cooperative Prairie Warbler.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
