More than 25 birders gathered for today's Memorial Day edition of the
Huntley Meadows Monday Morning Birdwalk. We spotted 61 species, with some
highlights being a Warbling Vireo and Yellow-throated Vireo seen near the
tower. A Least Bittern was clearly heard in the wetland as well. We would
like to thank Sally Lindfors and David Keegan for hosting the group for the
traditional post birding breakfast, and to the many birders who brought
some very delicious offerings for the breakfast.
