Gentle Readers,
Sy Fishbein led a group of five birders this morning, Monday, February 21,
2005, from 0710 to 0910. It turned into a bright, sunny day with calm winds in
spite of the adverse predictions of the weather gurus. We enjoyed a very
balmy, spring-like day. The birds seemed to enjoy the day, as there were many
ducks down Barnyard Run.
