Our expert birders counted 66 species May 1 at our Fred Archibald Sanctuary. Highlights included late winter migrants, a blue-gray gnatcatcher collecting tent caterpillar webbing for a nest, and an eastern phoebe nest on an upturned root ball of a tree along Cherry Run.

Help motivate our team to find as many species as they can May 9 at our Audrey Carroll Sanctuary for the conclusion of Birdathon: Donate or pledge today.
