Please forgive the delay of this report of the Huntley Meadows Monday Morning Birdwalk. This reporter had an especially busy day Monday and wasn't able to get around to it. There were 19 birders out yesterday, and they tallied 70 species. Highlights included 4 Dunlin, several warbler species, an Orchard Oriole, and a Little Blue Heron.
