birding at boxerwood

11/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Despite the rainy weather, 12 local birders attended this morning's First Saturday Bird Walk at Boxwood Gardens.Fortunately the rain held off during the 1 and 1/2 hour walk and the participants got good looks at the new winter arrivals. Highlights were a large mixed flock of sparrows (including FOS Fox Sparrows) allowing ample time to compare field marks and size differentials.
