...was a great success! Several folks got life birds, as most of the
birds that were hanging around yesterday were still around today, and we
actually logged more species (probably because we spent extended time out on
the
boardwalk...)! A few new species included a female CAPE MAY WARBLER along
the back side of the Convention Centre, and the Swainson's Warbler was still
around delighting a bunch of folks (and the Kentucky Warbler was still
eating worms out of Robin's hand... ;-))! Two different female-type WESTERN
TANAGERS made an appearance (one out back and one at the base of the
boardwalk). And there was not one, but TWO BOBOLINKS coming in to the water
feature!
I'm still working on pictures (Erik, I got you beat--I downloaded 915 from
yesterday... :-P), so along with some additional ones from today it'll be
tomorrow probably before I can get the pictures up, but there were a lot of
happy folks out there! Three cheers for Scarlet, Robin, and everyone who
helped feed the birds (I saw she got a lot of kids involved in handing out
mealworms as well ;-))!
