Undaunted by the early morning rains, 12 members/guests of ABC ventured out for this morning’s bird walk. Rains left after about an hour allowing us to tally 40 species starting with a smattering of waterfowl: Wood Duck, N Shoveler, Mallard, GW Teal, Redhead, 61 RN Duck, Common Merganser, and one Coot! In the woodpecker realm, we had Sapsucker, Red-bellied, Downy, and N Flicker. At the top of the hill, we found three N Harriers and witnessed some fairly dramatic aerial combat between two Ravens giving chase to a Harrier! Other sightings included Red-shouldered & Red-tailed Hawks, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, RW Blackbirds, and YR Warbler. I thank and appreciate those who participated with their keen eyes and ears and their enthusiasm for our natural world! Happy Birding! –Penny Warren
