The beautiful weather brought out a large group of enthusiastic birders. It turned out to be a really birdy day, with migrants present in large numbers. We started in Strawberry Fields but moved on rather quickly to the Ramble and Turtle Pond where birds were more numerous. Many of the warblers were very high in leafy trees, giving many of us serious cases of warbler neck. The four groups saw a total of 70 species.
