Observation date:     4/6/08

Notes:     TOS Memphis Chapter bird walk. Spring has arrived and the birds
are starting to show. Hooded Warbler was bird of the day that gave the crowd
of birders (25 strong) a good long look as it foraged in the low undergrowth
about 25 ft away from the boardwalk. Next scheduled hike at the boardwalk is
Weds 23 April and then on Sat 3 May when we have the Boy Scout Bird Study
Merit Badge course/hike.
