> Comments: The monthly 2nd Sat Turville Point Bird and Nature Walk 
> co-sponsored by Madison Audubon and Friends of Olin Turville was great, about 
> a dozen people including a family with 3 kids braved the threat of rain and 
> super birder Charles Naeseth stopped by to share his observations. Rained a 
> tiny bit but we had the canopy up for the docent table and then the sun came 
> out of course. Folks saw 5 brilliant Bluebirds and 26 other species. The 
> highlight was 2 Sandhill Cranes that flew in low right over the docent table 
> and landed only a couple hundred feet away in the wetland marsh and proceeded 
> to trumpet up a storm. Co-leaders Andria Blattner and Jeff Steele who go 
> there frequently said this was a first. Very cool.
