Higbee Beach - Friday, May 14 2010

CMBO Walk at Higbee Beach. Cloudy and rather cool in the early morning made the warblers less active. Small pockets were found but seeing them was a struggle - though some of us did see a nice Canada Warbler. However we did manage to see both Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, hear a Scarlet Tanager, see and hear Least Flycatcher, and see both the Blue Two -  Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Bunting.
