The Sixth Annual Mother’s Day Bird Walk in Ridgefield turned out great — fine weather and a strong turnout by both people and birds.
Highlights included appearances by Redstarts, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Ovenbirds, Ms. New York (you can’t make this stuff up), and a giant squirrel.
The Record’s coverage of the event is here.
