Sandwiched between World Series and Spring Weekend, it's been a hectic week, but the Wednesday Walk - despite threatening skies - took place as usual and a good time was had by all. Finding warblers in breezy conditions proved tricky, but both Yellow Warbler and Northern Parula actually sat long enough to give everyone great scope views. Piping Plovers on the Plover Pools gave great photo opportunities for some and Least Terns hovered in the air before us like little angels. What a way to start a working day!
