May 23, 2015 Saturday Bird Walk
Partly cloudy (i.e some sun!) and cool. 50°F. 2-5 mph. 17 participants.
|

It was great to see a little sun this morning (before the afternoon rains). I think our songbird migration has been on hold and now that the rainy and cold weather is letting up, the birds are coming through in droves. We don't often hit 60 species in a morning like we did today. Let's hope the trend continues!
