The Stockbridge Audubon field trip to Hurshtown Reservoir was more productive the our trip two weeks ago, but still far below expectations.
It started out well for the 14 participants, with a Snow Bunting in the track almost before we started moving. After everyone had a good look, we started to drive on, and the silly bird just ran ahead of us for several feet before finally flying off. Other than that, a few ducks and plenty of Bonaparte's and Ring-billed Gulls, and a few others were to be seen.
