A stellar morning in beautiful metropolitan downtown Etna, while a bit of a quiet start, turned up 8-10 birders and ~40 species. Perhaps the most surprising bird was the Junco, which one might expect at a higher elevation. Thanks to the Hanover Conservancy and Gail McPeek for sponsoring Saturday's outing.
