Our group of thirteen tallied 43 species. We enjoyed a warbler bonanza with
ten species. Swallows wereback in full force this week. Golden-crowned
kinglets were also spotted in two locations. A kestrel was over the river
and two cooper's hawks in the woods. With the water still fast and high, ducks
were in short supply.
