Today's 14 participants of the Monday Morning Bird Walk at Huntley Meadows were
offered a spectacular array of spring birds ranging from very close looks at an
American Bittern which has been around for a week or so, to an Indigo Bunting
at the feeders outside the Visitor Center. All in all, 51 species were noted.
Additionally, Phil Heine photographed a sora on the edge of the boardwalk
earlier this morning.
