Walk lasted between 12:00 and 13:49

We did not reach the prediction of 15.9. We only observed 14 species, which was still 2 above the median. I guess the highlight was the flock of Mitred Parakeets, which we kept seeing and hearing off and on. Not a lot to brag about today. However, after the walk, John Beckett sent me a very interesting essay, which I will attach to the email announcing the results of the walk. John is promising more of these on an occasional basis. I will try to find a home for them on the website, but that will be a challenge, so probably not anytime soon.

Alan,
