It was a beautiful morning for our monthly bird walk at New Quarter Park! We were joined by members of the Middle Peninsula Bird Club. We saw 43 species of birds! Many of our summer residents have arrived. We saw or heard several Yellow-Throated Warblers, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Northern Parulas, ovenbirds and a Summer Tanager. The ospreys are nesting on the platform by the Queens Lake Marina and one was sitting on the nest. We also got a great look at a very cooperative Great Egret! We were done with the walk before the storms moved in. It was great having the Middle Peninsula Bird club join usI Hope to join them someday for a bird walk on the Middle peninsula.

We had seventeen people come out on a cool foggy morning to the Warhill Sports Complex for our March 25 bird walk. We saw 42 species of birds! The Ospreys are back and starting to build a nest on the light poles overlooking a soccer field. Other spring migrants are starting to arrive as we heard a Yellow-
throated Warbler and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher! Many of our winter visitors were still here as we saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, several Dark-eyed Juncos, and Yellow-rumped Warblers and heard a Pine Siskin. Many of our permanent residents also made an appearance. We saw quite a few Northern Mockingbirds that were singing away. It ended up being a great morning for the walk and quite a few birds were seen and heard. \
