Please forgive the tardiness of this report. A result of an overburdened schedule. Fourteen birders participated in the Huntley Meadows Monday Morning walk. We tallied 56 species, with sitings of an osprey gathering nesting material, 7 Wilson's snipe, several shorebirds, and a large flock of Rusty Blackbirds as highlights of the morning.
