Our group of fourteen birders tallied 50 species. It was a very busy morning
in the park. Highlights included a mourning warbler which was just beyond the
stream as you leave the picnic area for the holding basin. An acadian
flycatcher was in the same general area. We spotted a pair of nesting
waterthrushes in the holding basin area. It was a beautiful morning but the
birding was slow. All are welcome to join this regular Sunday morning walk
that meets in the visitors center parking lot at 8:00am. --m Marshall Rawson,
