One could sense the excitement in the air when we met this morning to begin our bird walk. Rumors were abounding about what was being seen in Strawberry Fields, so at 7:30 am, that is where all five groups headed. It did not disappoint. Bird species seen there included Least Flycatcher, Blue-headed Vireo, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Northern Parula, and American Redstart. After spending some time in Strawberry Fields, the groups split up and departed, each to different parts of the park. As you can see from the bird list, it appears that every bird species present in the Park was seen by at least one of the groups. All in all, it was a glorious morning.
