It was quite a birdy morning at the State Park. Shorebirds are starting to show up, after their brief breeding stint in the north, and we saw both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, as well as Least Sandpipers and Short-billed Dowitchers. Locally bred young-of-the-year are starting to be seen as well. Hatch-year birds included Laughing Gull, American Oystercatcher, Red-bellied Woodpecker, American Robin and White-eyed Vireo. And this is just the beginning! Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Karl Lukens, Deb Payson, and Cindy Bamford.
