Spring Bird Walk at Snug Harbor

.
I spent a few hours this morning birding the Snug Harbor trails both south and north of Ruddiman.  Interesting sightings included Bruce Delamarter, Kay Kotzian, a Wood Thrush building a nest, several warblers along "Warbler Alley" and my first Scarlet Tanager of the year.
