Hey Birders,
A slowish day, but with some decent sightings. The first Canada Warbler of the
season was a young male banded at Fish Point. A single Horned Grebe was seen
off Fish Point and a Yellow-throated Vireo was also seen at Fish Point.
Virginia Rail and Sora can be heard at Fox Pond (Fish Point) and at Lighthouse
Point.
A male Kentucky Warbler was seen at Middle Point, giving great looks.
Good Birding,
Ken Burrell
