Despite the Canadian smoke haze, an enthusiastic band of birders joined Lena Gallitano at Yates Mill Pond Park for a morning of birding. They learned how to use the bird song identification app Merlin and were amazed at the number of birds they could hear. This morning of birding was one of the party offerings at PoP. Thank you to Lena and to those who contributed financially to the work of CUCC by buying tickets.
