Good company, pleasant weather and abundant birds made a great
evening. Young birders
came along too. The annual plant exchange offered wildflowers,
vegetables, garden plants, and a few unusual specimens.
Thanks to Nancy Howell for leading the bird walk, to Tom
Romito for a charcoal fire for cooking, and to Rich Kassouf and Mary
Anne Romito for keeping the bird list.
