Fourteen members and guests took part in a Beckham Bird Club field trip to
Mammoth Cave on Earth Day, April 22. Despite colder than usual weather and
overcast skies for most of the day the observers from all over the state and
from Indiana and Wyoming located 70 species including 19 species of warblers.
It was a great day of birding with great birds and great people. Complete list
of birds can be seen below.
Good Birding and hope to see all of you at the KOS meeting.
