Seven members gathered for a lovely 1.25-mile walk taking 2.25 hours. We tallied 39 species on the official list, with a few additional species noted on individual lists. Highlights included eight species of sparrows, including Swamp Sparrow. We also observed three swallow species, notably two Northern Rough-winged Swallows entering and leaving a cavity in the quarry wall near the Raven nest. Other sightings included a Cooper’s Hawk and three Red-tailed Hawks. Finally, we also heard at least two Louisiana Waterthrushes during our walk. –Tish Folsom
