After looking at the list of birds seen, I regretted that I had to miss this hike. Chimney Swifts, Yellow-billed Cuckoo (perhaps the first time seen by the BBC), Canada Warbler, Red-shouldered Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk, Red-headed Woodpecker, Clay-cloured Sparrow, Rough-winged Swallow, Upland Sandpiper Black Tern were some of the birds seen for the first time this year and maybe for some, it has been a few years,. Thank you, Alfred for leading this hike and finding these wonderful birds for us. 93 species of birds were seen.

Thank you, Margaret for keeping the list for us.
