Hello all.
I birded Lake Shore Athletic Complex this morning from 0800-1100. A few
migrants and lots of general bird activity. I covered as much of the edge and
brush as I could and was not disappointed with the results.
The bird of the day was a HERMIT THRUSH that popped up along the horse
trail in the Complex's southern end...a first of season bird for me, and a bit
unexpected.
