Sunday, May 15. Cloudy, fairly cold, windy with occasional sprinkles late in the trip.
Although not as productive as yesterday’s trip to Evergreen, it was still a pretty good outing. The cold and wind probably kept a lot of birds down. But early in the trip, while at the Bobbin Mill Brook outlet, it seemed that as long as we stayed there, new birds kept showing up. But alas, we had to keep moving, as we were concerned that it might start raining.
