Sixteen congenial birders participated in a field trip to McCormick’s Farm this morning. Forty bird species were recorded. An Eastern Warbling Vireo welcomed the group with its melodious song along with Eastern Bluebirds, Song Sparrows, an Orchard Oriole and a Baltimore Oriole singing his flute-like whistles in the old Willow Tree. Spotted Sandpipers, a lone Wild Turkey hen, numerous Goldfinches, Eastern Towhees, and many Yellow-rumpled Warblers made for a most pleasant morning. A big thank you to all the participants. Your camaraderie is very much appreciated. See you next month. –Jo King
