The last of the Spring bird walks at Ft. Harrison State Park produced just 52 species of birds. It was a nice morning but no obvious migrants were observed. The full list is below. Brandon R spotted nests of Cedar Waxwing and Acadian Flycatcher and we had a male Eastern Bluebird feeding one young.
Many thanks to everyone who joined me for a walk this spring. I expect to lead Fall bird walks at Ft. Harrison SP in September and October on Sunday mornings.
