Hi All,
Quite windy out this morning. We had about 8 people join me for the walk today. For me the highlights included the close views of a Pine Warbler at more or less eye level, the many Palm and Yellow-rump Warblers, two Ruddy Ducks, and two Lesser Scaup, several Ruby-crown Kinglets singing and seen, and (FOY for me) Savannah Sparrow. Plus the help from the group, it was a great team.
If that doesn't work, please send an email and I'll share it directly to you.
Happy Birding
John
