Coppei Creek Field Trip

Twelve hardy souls met South Coppei Creek Road at 7:00 a.m. for a leisurely walk led by Joe Corvino. It was cold and windy, but the sun was out and the birds were singing. We saw yellow warblers, lazuli buntings, black-headed grosbeaks, western tanagers and several other birds.  We heard, but didn't see, veery, fox sparrow and warbling vireo. Our total species count for the day was 29.  No flycatchers yet, but they are sure to arrive any day now.  I would recommend walking the this road again in a couple weeks and I'm sure more birds will be in.  Ginger
