Birders,
Sorry for the delay—problems with internet, phone and passwords, etc.
It was a fun birding day— a couple learning sessions regarding teens and hawks. I mean terns, .darn that spellcheck.
Charlotte managed to find in her photos the spotted sandpiper I thought I saw fly across the last pond we visited. Beckman says she has a nice report on eBird. We’ll have to check it out.
Thank you for your help in spotting and
IDing the birds. Heh,heh,heh.
Don’t forget the meeting this Thursday starting at 6:30 pm
See you,
Sally
