Third Saturday Birding Report, August 17 2024

We met at the so-called Walterville Ponds, which were essentially dry. Nevertheless, we had a nice morning under almost clear skies. At the outset we heard an Osprey calling. Soon we also heard Wrentits among the willows. A Black-throated Gray Warbler sat uncharacteristically still in a shrub several feet away, giving us good looks. Thank you to Katie McInnis for guiding our group of 13 on this outing!
All in all, we encountered 29 species on our 1.35-mile loop.
