Thirty-nine bird enthusiasts divided into 3 groups led by Kevin, Alan and Ken. Ideal weather conditions and barely unfurled spring buds allowed for clear views of 50 bird species. Sightings of early migrants delighted everyone. Especially noted were the Pine, Palm, and Yellow-rumped Warblers, the Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Louisiana Waterthrushes, and Rusty Blackbirds.
