6+ birders enjoyed a lovely spring morning at Springdale Water Gardens and the entrance road of Old Quarry Ln. Participants spent between 1 1/2 and 3 plus hours scanning the trees, shrubs and skies to tally 56 species. We started off with spectacular views of a Wilson’s Warbler!! Everyone enjoyed great naked-eye looks but it never posed for a photo op. We tallied 8 warbler species, Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers and could hardly hear other birds over the singing of the MANY Gray Catbirds, Wood Thrushes and Red-eyed Verios. Thanks for coming and we’ll see what we can find on the next 2nd Friday of June. Photo: Spotted Sandpiper by Scott Priebe. –Tish Folsom
