We welcomed a new walker, Mackenzie Schilling. She got her college degree in Georgie in Wildlife and Fisheries and knows her birds. Her husband is Andrew, who is a first year (I think) graduate student in Chemistry. I would say Mackenzie brought us some good luck and definitely some good weather. If was 48 F last week and a nice 70 F on this walk. We observed 27 species, 1.2 more than the prediction. Four more and we would have tied the record for the week. So, that was good. Chris did a great job finding the Parrots again. They were pretty well hidden but she got them. The Oak titmouse was identified by sound on Chips’ machine but I was confident that it was right – pretty distinctive call. Nice walk.

Alan,
