Old Mission Dam Field Trip Report – 4/2/22

Twenty-four birders took part in the walk on a overcast day in the low 60’s. Had a light drizzle at the end of the walk. Saw very few warblers or other migrant birds. Highlights included an Anna’s Hummingbird on a nest and many House Wren singing and bringing nest material to tree holes.
