As promised, here's a full list of bird species seen during the 2nd annual Earth Day walk at DeKorte Park.
As we were starting, we had an Osprey fly with a fish over the parking lot. Not a bad start. Tree Swallows were everywhere. By walk's end, we had 50 species.
All in all, a great day, and a great day to be outside.
