Today's Huntley Meadows Monday Morning Birdwalk was a great success in
terms of birders (more than 30), and bird species (52). Duck numbers are
growing with Green-winged Teal, Northern Pintails, Gadwalls, and Shovelers
dominating the wetlands. All seven of the woodpecker species found at
Huntley presented themselves, and the Merlin we first spotted last week was
still around. Great day!
