Hi All,
I got out to do some birding at North Branch over lunch, I was joined by J.B. Churchill and we ended
up getting some good birds. The highlight had to be the 21 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS foraging in the tarps
also nice were the two singing WILSON'S WARBLERS, one of which I got a terrible digi-bin shot of. The
breeders were particularly active and conspicuous today as well.
Pictures of some of the birds can be seen at:
