Walk lasted between 12:00 and 14:01

We had an outstanding walk, getting 28 species when the prediction was 23.9, and the record for the week was 30. The main highlight was the sighting of two different sapsuckers, the Red-breasted on Arden Rd. and the Red-naped in Tournament Park. Annette had come early and staked them out. Not everyone saw the Red-breasted, but we all had incredibly good views of the Red-naped. Quite the sight seeing it making those holes they make. The Snowy Egret was still there at the same pond as last week – always glad to get one of those. Just lots of good birds. We also welcomed a new walker, Tia Hogan, and also welcomed the return of my son Travis. He was particularly happy to see the Red-naped Sapsucker, but he did miss the Re-breasted, which, unfortunately, is the one he needs to be a new life bird. Maybe next week. Great walk!
