Spring Bird Walk Report: NBNC #1

Our second spring migration bird walk took place this Friday at the North Branch Nature Center, and 17 participants joined Ken and Larry to see what was flying around our home base. The diversity of species observed has been growing by the day, and we managed to tally 32 species during the walk. The bird-of-the-morning was probably the Palm Warbler that was seen foraging in the field. Next week's walk will take place Friday, May 2 at 7:00 a.m. at New Shelter in Hubbard Park.
