We started off the walk with great views of a Cape May Warbler that has been hanging around the Hawkwatch platform. A shift in winds had also brought in many Gray Catbirds, Swamp Sparrows, and Common Yellowthroats which were heard, and occasionally seen, throughout the walk. Most kept hidden due to frequent strafing runs by Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks. We also had two Bald Eagles, and one Broad-winged Hawk. A group of Ruddy Ducks had arrived on Bunker Pond, and a lingering Osprey was seen as well as a flyover adult Black-crowned Night-Heron. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, Marc & Lynne Breslow.
