I had three "target" species for this morning's walk. We got great looks at one, I thought I heard another, and the third there was no trace of. Combined with all the other birds we saw, I think we did well. The two birds we dipped on were rose-breasted grosbeak and little blue heron. There is always something excited to find when you're a bird watcher.
