Checklist Comments:    Brookline Bird Club Walk- Hellcat at Parker River NWR- Leader Nickilas Paulson- 1 participant. Cold to start but warmed up quick. Clear skies, low wind. Kinglets were heard throughout. Many Cormorants migrating past. Lots of hunters, so less ducks than expected. Walked a loop down the dike (opened for NWR week) to the Wardens, and back the road to the boardwalk then  along the boardwalk.
