The Canton Audubon Society took a field trip to the Woodbury Wildlife Area
on Monday, June 4 and had a pretty productive day. Forty-four species were
seen in only 3 hours and almost everyone had a least 1 life bird. One member
had 7 lifers. Henslow's Sparrows, 1 of the target birds for the trip, were
heard in several areas & everyone got at least 2 really good long looks.
