Bird Species: 60
Increasing rainfall shortened our walk, but not before we had logged 60 bird species, among them many migrants, including 12 warbler species. Some stars of the show were the trio of juvenile Night-Herons at the Upper Lobe, including the less-often-seen Yellow-crowned. Others included Hummingbirds, Cedar Waxwings, an Indigo Bunting, and a Black-billed Cuckoo.
