It's a great time of year for new arrivals and 'haven't-left-yets'. There are a lot of ducks left, as well as loons, Brant, Horned Grebes, Hermit Thrush and at least one lingering Tundra Swan. In the new arrivals category, Purple Martins were waiting for their houses to go up at the beginning of the walk and sitting on their 'front porches' at the end. Northern Rough-winged and Barn Swallows have returned in small numbers and we had our First-of-Season Blue-gray Gnatcatcher at the west end of Lighthouse Pond. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Steve Weis, and Tom Gleason.
