Hi all. All I can say is WOW! Our Cecil Bird Club, Turkey Point kick off was yesterday. At one point we had over Twenty People. We spent 90% of our time trying to track all of the Warblers types dropping out of the sky. It was a bit overwhelming. Out of the fall out we had racked up 77 species and many birds that we just couldn't get on because of the hyper activity. This place is incredible after a cold front. Here are the highlights.
