Information about the club, a membership form, directions to the

The recent rains have left the Mitchell Lake refuge with no
shorebird habitat. Lots of other birds are seen there, however.
The Golden-cheeked warblers at the Friedrich Park are out and
about with their babies.
And thank you for reporting your birds to this tape so others
can find them.
