Jim Houghton Memorial Spring Warbler Walk at Westmount Summit

7:00 and 9:00 am, Tuesday 22 May 2007:
The weather was perfect this morning, sunny and warm. Unfortunately it was also perfect for the leaves on the trees and the birds were not singing very much,which made birding a bit more challenging. But the 19 birders who came out managed to find 40 species, although the number of each was disappointing in most cases.
