There are so many birds around at the Beanery that, despite the wind and drizzle, it was a good morning. Using our usual strategy of sneaking around the corner to view the willow pond, we were able to see the Wood Ducks before they saw us, then watch them as they flew off down the waterway. More obliging was the American Kestrel, a handsome male in blue-gray and rufous, that perched atop the pole to be scoped. This is the time of year that Palm Warblers flit through the weedy fields there and sparrows move down the hedgerows - a good time to stop and sort them all out. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Deb Payson.
