There were 11 birders on this morning's Huntley Meadows Monday Morning
Birdwalk, and we spotted 43 species, despite our denied access to most of the
boardwalk due to the continuing construction project. Our highlights might
include an immature Little Blue Heron, our Osprey regular who got his/her fish
on the first plunge, and an immature Baltimore Oriole.
