^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Back home after an excellent BBC nature trip to the Jersey Pine Barrens where we accumulated a surprising 115 bird species including about 240 Whimbrel at Brigatine /Edward Forsyth NWR in a 2nd round trip on the wildlife drive in the eve when they came in.Many spots were fascinating scenic locations. List will be posted on the BBC trips blog by midweek.[ and I did get two new warbler species for my year's 30th,2 Yellowthroated (thanks to Mary Eyster's hearing ) and Worm-eating]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I presumed Sunday's 5/20 BBC Friends walk did go thru and if anyone has a list , please forward Prosbird@aol.com.Thanks
