Participants split into two groups, one led by Kevin and the other by Alice and Richard. Kevin’s group headed out to Strawberry Fields, where one of the highlights was a Philadelphia Vireo. Alice and Richard’s group walked over to the area behind the Falconer’s Statue, a good area to potentially see interesting sparrows, as well as warblers. Over the course of the morning, the two groups combined saw 74 species across the park, including 14 warbler species. The groups also observed some new visitors for the season, including Dark-eyed Juncos and Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets.
