Turkey Point - Sunday, March 21, 2010

Dave Lord et. al. report:

"The penultimate Turkey Point walk was a wonderful celebration of all things spring. After enjoying large agregations of Green Winged-Teal and both flavors of Yellowlegs, the group headed to Hansey Creek Road, where several Pine Warblers teased us with short views. We enjoyed a close-up inspection of a fourth year Bald-Eagle; a dozen or more Tree Swallows; Field Sparrows singing like mad; and some more great sounds of the season. Karen Johnson, Brian Johnson, Janet Crawford, Tony Klock, and Dave Lord led."
