:

This morning's Spring Walk, sponsored by Riverbend Park attached a

good group of birders and some notable spring sightings.

Warblers were not numerous but two yellow-throated warbler were good.

Northern Parula were plentiful around the park include a female collecting spiders webs for nest building.

Cedar Waxwings we're abundant particularly around the boat ramp as we

both orioles.

A record of three Ring-necked duck was unusual for this time of year.
A vociferous Yellow-throated Vireo was found near the visitor center

after the walk.
