Hello All,

My wife and I observed two Fox Sparrows on the Green Ribbon Trail this 
evening (April 7) at 7:15 PM.  A week earlier than last year.


In addition, there were a pair of Belted Kingfishers in the area where the 
Martindale Rd bridge crosses the pond and a pair of Wood Ducks were observed 
in a tree just west of the parking area.
