From Russ Aldertone:
Peter,
My list is almost all Lookout Hill, particularly the north-west slope. I've never seen that many species all in one place. I'm sure there were plenty I missed since it was overcast and hard to see .
Russ

Hi Peter,
Nothing unusual but what a nice time I had! Not a whole lot of birds but a fairly steady appearance of small pockets of migrants. I'm impressed by how many warblers are still coming through.

1. Canada Goose - lots
2. Mute Swan - 2
3. Mallard - lots
4. Northern shoveler - even more
5. Rock Pigeon
6. Red-bellied Woodpecker - 3
7. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 2
8. Downy Woodpecker - 1
9. Northen Flicker - 20+
10. Eastern Phoebe - 2
11. Red-eyed Vireo - 2
12. Blue Jay - 10+
13. Winter Wren - 1
14. Swainson's Thrush - 1
15. American Robin - 4+
16. Black-throated Blue Warbler - 2
17. Black-throated Green warbler - 1
18. Palm Warbler - 2 (1 eastern, 1 western)
19. Black-and-white Warbler - 2
