Despite a very chilly morning (with even a few snow flakes) our birding
group, led by George Clark, recorded 26 species (Iist below). When the
sun did finally shine through we witnessed the immediate onset of song by
birds that were silent beforehand. We had nice views of Brown Creepers,
Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a Blue-headed Vireo. A pair of White-breasted
Nuthatches nesting in a box along the Mink Brook Nature Preserve was a
treat. We hoped to spot the black bear female and her 3 cubs, but no luck.
