As heavy gray clouds approached and thunder rumbled closer and closer, a Virginia Rail called along the East Path. The water in the ponds is still quite high, leaving few edges for foraging shorebirds but a Solitary Sandpiper was feeding there and a lone Blue-winged Teal huddled amongst the Mallards. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Bill Smythe.
