Gentle Readers,
Mary Floyd led a group of thirteen avid birders at Huntley Meadows Park on
Monday, July 19,2004, from 0700 to 0930. The warm, partly cloudy day was near
windless and fifty-six species were seen. This represents a high count for a
mid-summer day between spring and fall migration. The best bird of the day,
the Glossy Ibis, but there was much else to admire.
