This month has been very successful, despite many days with less than optimal winds. Increased attendance has probably helped to spot several birds. We set a new one month record for Peregrine Falcon sightings, with 51. Please enjoy this short video of several birds we saw this month. Excuse my shakey camera and bear with me as Ive used a new editing program, videos will improve.

Thanks to everyone who helped with spotting, sent photos and brought coffee,donuts(Timbits too) and pizza. Thanks to everyone for the great public relations job they do, chatting with park goers and answering their questions. It reflects very well on us as people, birders and it also helps out the parks reputation as well as the watches in general. Thanks as always to the staff and management at Rosetta McClain Gardens. The staff is very supportive at Rosetta McClain Gardens and Walter and I really couldnt do it without the help and support of Don, Richard, Gary(the big boss), Charlene, Deb, Nash and Ron. Their many kindnesses are greatly appreciated.
