We started from Strawberry Fields. The first bird that one group saw was a Blue-headed Vireo, a good start to the day. The lighting was poor due to the cloud cover, and it was damp and chilly. A large area of the park was covered, including the reservoir, and an impressive number of birds were spotted.
