Thanks to Tony Leukering for putting together the bird list so I could concentrate on other things! Butterflies were not a major feature of this walk as we were mostly in woodland lots - and those that we did see tended to be azures and duskywings which refused to stay still to be identified to species! Birds were good though and spring botany gave us much to look at, from the sneaky little lawn aliens around the parking lot to a range of early flowering oaks, blueberries and other trees and shrubs.
