Four members enjoyed 2 hours of birding at Springdale, mostly in the wooded areas along Old Quarry Ln. The cool shade made for a pleasant experience and the small group enjoyed lots of “birdy” conversation as we tallied 30 species on this sweltering morning. Highlights included a nice view of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and hearing two others further away. A Northern Flicker talked to us and two Eastern Wood-Pewee were heard with one seen. A Wood Thrush melody sounded lovely and an Ovenbird sang out. Lots of other birds heard but few seen. Thanks to Huck, Stan and Ann for joining me on the monthly walk. It’s been a fun four months of birding with everyone!!! –Tish Folsom
