Addendum: Allen's Pond

Since I've taken to not writing my sightings down I forgot about all of the great birds that we had at Allen's Pond. While walking thru the meadow, Erik spotted a pair of Palm Warblers flittering about in an evergreen tree. And the skies were filled with Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and my favorites... Northern Harriers working the fields.

Also, for those of you who are interested, here are the results of the count courtesy of Lauren Miller.
