It was cloudy and cool for the walk in Longmeadow with seven companions. Best bird was a male Blue-winged Teal in the back marsh that Lois spotted after seeing it on previous days. Also good were 3 Rusty Blackbirds close and calling, 2 House Wrens singing, 3 Carolina Wrens, 10 Gnatcatchers, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 singing Bluebirds, 6 Palm Warblers, and 3 Yellow-rumped Warblers. The species total was 34.
