Neither rain nor any weather possibility or high East Pond levels could stop us. We thank our amazing leader, Keith, for finding so many exciting birds for us. We appreciate it all. The skippers skipped away very quickly, and only one Pearl Crescent was cooperative. We also saw Green Darners and one Black Saddlebags.
