What a wonderful morning, warm, no wind, good birds, and a great
turnout.
Stanton held their Wednesday morning walk today at Sabattus
Pond. We started
at the south end with good ducks, moved to Access Rd.
and walked the loop
with more good birds, then finished at Riley Rd. I
didn't count how many showed
up, but we had at least 12, maybe more,
people. And we had 33 bird species.
