May Walk
May Bird Walk - Rose Lake at Dorothy Carnes Park
We held our May walk on Saturday, May 17th. We covered the lake area and woodland of Dorothy Carnes Park near Fort Atkinson with a group of 20 enthusiastic birders. The weather was perfect. We had many cooperative birds, though the Red Eyed Vireos preferred to sing rather than show themselves. All in all, a great walk with everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. Thanks to all who attended!
If you couldn't be with us for this walk, we hope you can join us for one of the others in this series.
