Nine birders enjoyed this beautiful morning as we tallied 34 species.
Highlights included
at least one very cooperative Fox Sparrow, a Phoebe at the overlook and Tree
swallows
over the river. Spring beauty & toothwort in bud were found along the paths.
This Sunday walk meets at 8:00am and depending on the birds we will either be
in the main
parking lot or the visitors center courtyard. All are welcome to join us. --
