HI Everyone,
The hike had a good mix of birds that we all would have enjoyed seeing. Eight waterfowl species and a nice selection of warblers was enjoyed by the participants, and of course, a Virginia Rail always is an exciting find. Thank you, Judy for leading us on this hike. It looked like a lot of fun, full of discoveries.
