Four of us braved the weather for the CKAS scheduled walk out atMinor Clark
Fish Hatchery. It was pretty wet, but we were rewarded with a nicemix of 62
species. Including the scouting trip made the day before we totaled80 species
for the two days, including 11 species of warbler. Several of us gota few FOS
species. The shorebirds, however were a disappointment with onlythree species
found. The displaying male Spotted Sandpiper was veryentertaining though.
