Seven birders looked for spring at Lee Park this morning. Although brisk and breezy, there were some nice birds, a few wildflowers and spring peepers to see.
Highlights were the Palm Warblers (great looks), singing Ovenbird and the 2 male Common Yellowthroats, and then the Green Heron down along the edge of the lake.
