Birds of Belleplain - Saturday, April 18th, 2015

A gorgeous spring morning with many recent arrivals of birds. We were greeted by a singing Yellow-throated Vireo before we ever left the parking lot. Black-and-white Warblers and Ovenbirds were everywhere. The group got wonderful looks at a Yellow-throated Warbler and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were plentiful. We rounded out our exploration with Prairie Warblers. Leaders:  Shaun Bamford, Bert Hixon, Chris Marks, and BJ Pinnock.
