This morning, I think I waited too long to get out of the house. Starting at
9:00 AM at Waples Mill Park, I spent 90 minutes and found 22 species, including
0 migrants and 0 mixed flocks. The list is below.
It is a beautiful sunny calm day. I wonder what others found this morning?
Note, I did not walk through the park interior (with hip boots). This was a
perimeter walk on the asphalt paths - hence, no ducks, phoebe, etc.
