About a dozen participants joined in yesterday's morning bird walk  
arranged by the Milton Frye Nature Area Committee. Skies were dark and  
at times threatening.. Among the notable finds were a Broad-winged  
Hawk flying past, a Barred Owl mobbed by numerous and vociferous  
American Crows, nine species of warblers including a female Pine  
Warbler which provided a special challenge in identification, and a  
Savannah Sparrow. Special thanks to Ed Hack for compiling the full
