Numerous birders, both experienced and novice, participated in the walk. Some ventured into the north end where they saw the lingering Eastern Meadowlark and a Vesper Sparrow. All three warbler species gave us excellent views, with the Yellow-rumped Warblers actively flycatching at Turtle Pond. The seven sparrow species were also notable. Red-bellied Woodpeckers, the Northern Cardinals, and the White-throated Sparrows were especially vocal.
