Thirty-five people showed up at Strawberry Fields despite the cold, damp weather. By 8:00, the weather and visibility had improved. There were four groups. Three started out in Strawberry Fields, and the fourth headed uptown by subway to the North End of the Park in search of the Prothonotary Warbler that had been in the Loch and at the Pool for a few days and had been reported earlier that morning, along with a Hooded Warbler. The group was treated to a gorgeous show from the Prothonotary Warbler, and saw the Hooded Warbler as well.
