Lots of Blue Jays and Northern Flickers overhead greeted birders on the Bird Walk for All People this morning. Other highlights include perched Merlins, a perched young Red-tailed Hawk, Eastern Phoebes, and a Veery seen by some. We ended with a young Lincoln's Sparrow in the bayberry by Bunker Pond. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, Cindy Bamford, and Patty Rourke.
