A cool and sunny morning with lots of birdsong! Great looks at Orchard Orioles, Prairie Warblers, multiple Yellow-breasted Chats, Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Buntings. Also, a nice collection of shorebirds, and a gray ghost Northern Harrier. The highlight was a Louisiana Waterthrush picking insects on the roadside. Leaders: Shawn Bamford, Karen Johnson, and Mary Watkins.
