Eleven birders in Calloway County celebrated International Migratory Bird
Day May 12,2012. We had 119 species including three for the count week.
Can't brag on the warblers, but the number of species was very
respectable. Thanks to all volunteers especially four "young" birders who
will hopefully carry on the tradition of us oldsters.
