Weather: Heat Wave! 91F and sunny, light breeze
Bird Species: 43

It was a hot and humid day, but the leafy Ramble kept the 43 enthusiastic birders mostly shaded on our final walk of the season. Splitting into four groups, we observed a total of 43 bird species, including six warblers. We also spotted nesting sites for several of our resident birds, including American Robins, Northern Cardinals, Great Crested Flycatchers, and Baltimore Orioles. It was an enjoyable morning shared by new and experienced birders and a fine end to our spring migration series.
