The weather was partly cloudy and cool, with a light breeze. The birds in the State Park were very quiet this afternoon. On Bunker Pond the only ducks were Mallards and a few Blue-winged Teal. We saw immature Little Blue Herons, Great Blue Herons, and both Great and Snowy Egrets. The only highlights in the woods were a Red-eyed Vireo, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, and an Osprey dining on a large fish. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Cindy Bamford, and Deb Payson.
