Hi Peter,

we had 23+ birders show up for today's walk in Greenwood.  Lots of new faces, lots of good spotters.  We birded around the 4 waterways.  4 warbler species and 7 sparrow species *AND* we won the Brooklyn Triple Crown - Ruby, Golden and Orange.  

Mary E found 2 Orange Crowned Warblers by the new mausoleums, and somehow we managed to get a rather large group on them.   Attached OCWA photo by Karen O

best,
Bobbi
