Hi Everyone,
As Mike Sanders already reported Lynda and I lead the bird walk in the Breaks 
Park yesterday. I guess the bad weather kept most people in, but Mike braved 
the weather and the long drive from Bristol to join us. 
We had a very enjoyable day with Mike, who is a good birder. Thanks to his 
sharp eyes he got the Swainson's Warbler as a life bird. He spotted the bird 
sitting in one spot, singing among the Rhododendron.
My total for the day was 30 species. I was surprised that we didn't find more 
warbler species than we did. At any rate, the rain held off till mid-day and it 
was a good day to be  out birding.
Following is the day's list.
