Thursday's Thrushes and Thrashers "Report"

Ten birders attended the last week of Thursday's Thrushes and Thrashers and although our only Thrush was a Robin we finished the morning listening to the song of the Brown Thrasher. It was a lovely spring day with temperatures in the twenties and we saw 30 species of birds. We were surprised by the absence of wrens and warblers.

Painted turtles, muskrat and garter snake were also seen.

Thanks to everyone who came out and to David Mulholland and Audrey Speck for their help. - Barbara MacDuff
