E-Z Birding - Tuesday, May 26th, 2015

Our walk started off with a Green Heron perched high on a cedar by the parking lot. Other highlights of today's walk were good looks at several "cooperative" birds including Common Yellowthroat, one of the park's elusive Yellow-breasted Chats, Tree Swallow, and American Oystercatcher on nest. A mystery singing bird was briefly seen by one participant, but identified after the walk by reviewing recorded bird songs as a Nashville Warbler. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, and Marc & Lynne Breslow.
