Good morning for a bird outing. 14 eager birders came out with the fog and the threatening look of rain to bird the Lakeside Trail. It started slow with very few birds. No sun, means insects don't come alive to entice the birds to feed. But as we walked farther down the trail away from the water, BINGO, a flurry of birds that gave us good views. Phoebes, Bluebirds, House Wrens, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, American Redstarts, Parula, Palm Warblers, Prairie, Yellow Warblers and House Finches to name a few. We finally felt our efforts were not in vain. We were able to tally 39 species for the morning and then lunch at Cedar River Seafood and a recap of the morning. The list of species can be seen at this eBird link. Photos courtesy of Jim Meyer
