Huckleberry Swamp 8/3/25

Ten of us gathered at Huckleberry Swamp on Sunday, August 3, 2025:  Lori & Steve V, Linda & Steve B, Lyn J, Leslie P, Y Yang, Rich R, Kevin A, and Holly N.  The morning temperature was cool for this time of year, which may have contributed to the near silence in the woods; however, it is August.  We enjoyed a leisurely walk along good trails in the woods and boardwalks through the swamp.  In the end, we managed to grab a respectable 26 species. 

Not all birding trips are exciting adventures - sometimes it's just a walk in a beautiful spot with friends.
