Twenty eager birders gathered this morning in Lake Park, including two young
boys on their first ever bird walk.  After a slow start, we ran into a
hotspot in one ravine with AMERICAN REDSTART, GOLDEN-WINGED, CANADA, and
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS, RED-EYED VIREO, GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER, and
RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER.  A stop on the lakefront allowed us to study
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS and SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS on the algae mat.  Also
spotted today were several BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, multiple RUBY-THROATED
HUMMINGBIRDS, and BLACK-AND-WHITE, TENNESSEE, and CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERS.
We had 41 species in all.
