birding by ear 102

After completing Donna Finnegan's 'Birding by Ear 101' on April 8, a group of 13 birders met at Boxerwood on Saturday to work on Professor Rowe's Birding by Ear 102.
Kerry Kilday and Dick Rowe led us through the nature center finding lots of great birds. It was a great example of birding by ear, with several identified as they sang in the distance.  There were others we were able to seek out and get glimpses after someone recognized the song, and also some great examples of songs and hints we heard about from Donna.

Here is the list of what we saw and heard;
