It was a gray overcast day, but very pleasant for walking. At least 25 birders joined the walk. Heard many Yellow-breasted Chats and saw a few. Seems this is a bumper year for them. Be sure to check out the eBird report which includes many nice photos of some of the birds seen on the walk.
We saw 43 species on the walk.
