Prospect April 28th Cold but they are coming anyway

This aberrant cold snap is not deterring warblers and other birds coming as 14 species warblers were reported on the BBC walk led by Tom Stephenson. See his report

YELLOW-THROATED VIREO reported by Tom Preston.

Hi Peter,
 
Another fun walk with over 30 great birders. We had almost 70 species including 14 species of warblers including Prairie, Blue-winged, Worm-eating (fleeting), a late Pine, Black-throated Blue and Green, and N Parula. Kind of cold but lots of bird activity.
 
Here's the list.
 
Best regards,
Tom
