Nine birders visited Spencer Is. from 1000-1330 today, Tues., on a cloudy,
humid day with some light rain and temperatures in mid-sixties. Included were
two sisters from Boston who were visiting their mother in Lake Forest Park.
We had a total of 39 species which surprisingly did not include Spotted
Towhee, No. Flicker, No. Harrier or Belted Kingfisher. We usually always see
these birds.
