Here's Chris's trip list for this morning's walk. He lists only 3, but personally I saw at least 15 Great Egrets fly over, many of them during my Betsy-come-lately walk up to the top of the dam to join the rest of you, and some of us saw a Turkey Vulture. Nancy and I heard several of the rattle calls of a Belted Kingfisher after Chris left. We're expecting photos of the Sedge Wren and assorted other birds from Allison eventually, which I'll add to the thread when she sends me the links.
