Sun, May 6 2007 - Spring Migration - High Park (View Original Event Details)
|
A good morning with 44 species tallied. The clear skies last night may have resulted in many migrants passing over, instead of stopping over in the park. Nice surprises included a Great Egret in Grenadier Pond, an Orchard Oriole feeding on nectar from cherry blossoms, and the first Yellow Warbler of the season.
