Good morning,
It seem to be a fairly quiet day in the park for birds.

should look through them carefully.
Clay-colored Sparrows have been seen at the start
A group of us (ken burrell, barb charlton, doug mcrae and I) just had a
Kentucky Warbler singing and foraging in the tree tops(!) along the west beach
about 400m south of blue heron/northwest beach. May be moving south along west
edge of woods.
