Six groups (some with more than one leader) headed out to Strawberry Fields and then dispersed, with some going to Falconer’s, the Croquet Courts, and the Ramble, others heading toward Triplets’ Bridge and the Shakespeare Garden, and some travelling from the Ramble to the Reservoir and all the way to the North End, spending nine hours in the Park!
Highlights included 21 species of warbler, including Worm-eating, Blackburnian, Tennessee, Wilson’s and Cape May; as well as the Red-headed Woodpecker that had been reported in the Loch, a Lincoln’s Sparrow, and some White-crowned Sparrows.
