This morning our Wednesday Walk was along the Riverside Trail in Lewiston. Fifteen people attended. We did reasonably well finding birds, Gordon lists 37 species below. One hi-light was a perched Bald Eagle but in general the birds seem quiet. We were looking for nice weather and I dare say it was not bad. We often had rain over the river, you could see the drops in the river, but we either missed it or the trees protected us. So the whole walk was really dry until we approached the cars at the end. About two minutes after leaving the sky opened and it poured, but the walk had already ended normally.
Here are the species seen.
After the list are some photos taken by Gabriel Sada
