Back-to-back Higbee Beach walks during CMBO's spring weekend today yielded a female Dickcissel in the tower field, plus Wilson's, Blackpoll, Black-throated Green and Black-throated Blue among the 13 warbler species, and a lovely male Scarlet Tanager near the parking lot. Blue Grosbeaks seemed evident everywhere, and Indigo Buntings, too. A fun highlight at the start of the walk was a Mourning Dove carrying an egg shell and dropping it on the edge of the parking area. The full list - a composite of both walks - is below.
