Thanks so much Fred. I'll propose those dates tonight. Doing two walks would be fantastic and if you want to do only one, just say so. I wanted some idea of a good time as I couldn't remember when you said warblers were on the move last year. I know that you have a reputation as a wonderful birder all around the Valley and far beyond, I'm sure. Will be in touch soon.
