This Friday's Higbee Beach walk could perhaps be considered to mark the start of the 'season', as we had a great time with migrants! Common Yellowthroats 'chacked' in the undergrowth, flocks - yes, flocks - of Baltimore Orioles careered across the treetops and a nice mix of warblers included Nashville, Black-and-white, Magnolia, Prairie and more... Highlights were also provided by a couple of Common Nighthawks that perched beautifully in full view for us. Leaders:Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Roger & Kathy Horn, and Karl Lukens.
