We saw Red-breasted Nuthatches, Common Yellowthroat, Sharp-shinned Hawks and Osprey. It was a great sunny, breezy morning with thirteen people (3 members, 6 non-members and 4 life members) in attendance, some from Delaware and New York. The White M Hairstreak was a great find in an urban setting, nectaring on sedum."
