Our leader, John Haas spotted and showed us many birds that are specialties of Bashakill. We saw Bank Swallows sitting on the wires, Broadwing Hawks flying with a Red-shouldered Hawk, Common Gallinules, Yellow-throated Vireos and so much more. We learned to identify the structures of beavers and muskrats. Miriam Rakowski spotted a Barred Owl, which was deep in a conifer tree. Sandy Paci spotted a Pileated Woodpecker. Our list speaks for itself.

Trip changed from Saturday, May 13, 2017 to Sunday, May 14, 2017 because of rain.
