Our first Higbee Beach walk of the season could hardly have been more perfect! We started with a dizzy bunch of birds jumping around before us, that included Golden-winged, Blue-winged, Black-throated Green, Prairie, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided and Canada Warblers, as well as the more expected species. Cedar Waxwings, Red-winged Blackbirds, Eastern Kingbirds and Bobolinks passed overhead and we rounded off by wrestling with Acadian and Least Flycatchers. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Kathy Horn, Catherine Busch, Michael McCabe, David La Puma, and Megan Crewe.
