Four hardy souls managed to find 37 species on our wet walk among the rolling meadows of Hayes Farm Park and the swampy forest of the Trescott Wetlands in Etna.  

We caught a glimpse of a prairie warbler, a species we've found in past springs at this location. Other warblers included ovenbird, black-and-white, northern parula, pine, yellow-rumped and black-throated green.  

Blue-headed vireos, brown creepers, a purple finch and a wood thrush provided nice song on a dreary morning.  My thanks to David Merker for co-leading.

Our next Hanover Conservancy bird walk is May 20, to the newly conserved Hudson Farm where bobolinks and savannah sparrows breed. Stay tuned.
