The Walk for All People endured some rain and monster mosquitos to find a treasure chest of birds in the State Park. Highlights included: hundreds of Bobolinks overhead, lots of American Redstarts, Northern Parulas, Black-throated Blue Warblers, Yellow, Prairie, and Palm Warblers, and Blue Grosbeaks. We also had a small movement of raptors including Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel, Red-shouldered Hawk, and a Bald Eagle. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, and Cindy Bamford.
