Birding at Garrett Family Preserve - Saturday, June 16th, 2018


Birding at the Garret Family preserve has been a wonderful addition to the CMBO Spring Walk schedule. Now, late in the season, the breeders are busy. Anywhere on the property, you hear the chatter of chats and frequently see them sitting atop the cedars, with seemingly no regrets about being kicked out of the warbler family. ðŸ˜€  Indigo Buntings, Blue Grosbeaks, Orchard Orioles, Common Yellow-throats, Willow Flycatchers and Eastern Kingbirds are all taking advantage of the great habitat here.
