An early morning 3+ hour bird walk around the environs of Kendall Lake, Kendall Hills, Little Meadow, and parts of the Cross-country trail yielded 54 species today. The male Prairie Warbler that was first found on May 7th persists around Kendall Hills, singing lustily; unfortunately, I've not seen a female there. By far the most surprising bird of the day was a male Ruddy Duck loafing on the lake. Full list follows.
