5/2 Tuesday Bird Club Trip

We had a nice if rainy morning in the park, with an apparent migrational movement. We walked from the SW corner of the park across Lookout, and also checked out the Peninsula. Early on we had large number of catbirds up in the trees, which I interpreted as a recent influx. Other highlights included Chestnut Sided, Wilsons and Blackpoll warblers.
