Hi Peter,
Michelle and I had a beautiful spring Sunday leading the BBC walk. We were joined by several BBC first-timers and out-of-town guests.
We observed 68 wonderful species in total. Birding highlights included both tanagers, several warblers as expected, and a Yellow-breasted Chat that provided excellent views while foraging in the open. We also witnessed Baltimore Orioles, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, and a Downy Woodpecker nest-building. Other sightings included fresh goslings in Sylvan Water, a fledgling Starling being fed, a young groundhog, and a small lizard.
Special thanks to Val for volunteering to compile the eBird list, which can be found here:
See you outside,
The Michelle's
