April 25, 2015 Saturday Bird Walk  
  
We had a wonderful morning with many signs of the coming spring. The symphony of sounds has increased terrifically in the last few weeks-and not just from the birds. We hit 51 species this morning which is another sign that birds and activity are increasing. Make plans to spend a lot of time outside in the coming month!
