Folks
From this morning's birdwalk I've added some photos to my Huntley Meadowsgallery. There are also a few shots from last week's Monday outing.
A large group of over 30 birders collected today for the Huntley Meadows
Monday Morning Birdwalk. We identified some 52 species, with highlights
being our first Pine Warbler of the season; a full sweep of Woodpecker
species; a lone female Bufflehead Duck; and huge collections of Rusty
Blackbirds and Grackles. Birders who may be thinking of joining us some
morning should keep in mind that beginning with the walk on March 20, we
will be starting at 7AM.
