Chain O' Lakes State Park
May 4, 2019
Fourteen people attended Stockbridge Audubon's field trip to Chain O' Lakes State Park today, on a cool, but at least dry day. The birding seemed a little slow at times, but all in all, we had a good day, with a trip total of 72 species. We ended up with thirteen species of Warblers for the day, and got some great looks at some new arrivals including Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Northern Waterthrush.
