Date: 5/6/26 2:43 pm From: Wentzel, Doug <djw105...> Subject: Migration Morning, May 6th, rain edition; PLUS special invite from Sierra Club for another walk tomorrow, May 7
Greetings all,
Despite a steady rain, 21 folks joined Alexa, Brady and I on the walk this morning from the Stone Valley office porch to the boardwalk at Shaver’s Creek. Highlights included a lingering Bufflehead, 3 Common Loon, swallows lined up on the wire, and good looks at a pair of Baltimore Oriole. Thanks to all who joined our weekly walks and our generous sponsor, Wiscoy for Animals. Special shout out to Adan for keeping our eBird checklist (see below).
The rain did get in the way of a walk that was scheduled for today but fortunately has a rain date for tomorrow.
So you are invited to join Margaret Brittingham, Thursday, May 7th (8 to 10 am) at a special property at Halfmoon Valley Road. See the link for details and to RSVP, or show up and sign the form when you arrive. Thanks to Kelly Forest for the invite.
