A downpour this morning delayed the start of the First Sunday Bird Walk in Prospect Park, but we met at 10 and definitely made up for lost time. Not all the observers were present throughout the day (Mary was), and there were participants in the walk who are not listed. The park was jumping with warblers, almost every spot was a "hot spot."
Lookout Hill provided the best rewards with a Connecticut Warbler and an Orange-Crowned Warbler.
