Our group of both long-term and a few new Linnaean Society members set out to explore Prospect Park at 7:30AM, guided by Tom Stephenson. Early highlights were a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a Baltimore Oriole, and numerous warbler species. We continued on exploring the park and the fall migrants until around 2PM in the afternoon and ended the day with most of the group participants seeing 54 species of birds. Our group is very grateful to Tom Stephenson, co-author of the Warbler Guide book and app and the Birdgenie app, for generously sharing his time and expertise with us.
