Patterson Park Friday Bird Walk

A perfect day to look for summer residents at Patterson Park.  Chimney Swifts are still foraging overhead and it seemed like there was a Mockingbird at every turn.  Enjoy some photos from the walk.

Many Eastern Kingbirds were fluttering about the trees.

If you attend our walk in August, this Marsh Hibiscus will be in full bloom!

And some more ducklings - this time from the local Mallards.
