BIRD STUDY GROUP
This wasn't an impressive list but it was nice to find a non-breeding plumage
Scarlet Tanager. The ebird filter flagged the Mississippi Kite. Didn't know it
was late for them in this area. There is a good crop of dogwood fruit to
welcome passing songbirds if they decide to stop on their way to the coast.
Always wondered what I'd find if I was accompanied by a talented birder like
Terry Davis on trips like this.
