Checklist Comments

BBC Tuesday walk. The floodgates stayed open. Second day of a warm front after a period of cool weather, mid 50s at the start, overcast, less-than-ideal lighting until around noon when it cleared up and became a perfect spring mid-60s day. Felt like a wave day — Birdcast had over 300k birds passing Kings County last night — with above-average (and flagged) counts for several warblers which normally haven’t peaked yet. Interesting to see a few of the boreal-breeding warblers this side of May. The entire park was busy, especially West Island, the Hammerhead, the oaks on Lookout, and the Ravine/Midwood.
