Recapping the Bird Blitz & Seed Picking Party at the ABC

.We had great weather on Saturday, September 22nd for birding, prairie seed harvesting & a party. Although we were a little early in the season for the sparrows (the warm weather may be delaying their southerly migration), we did see a large flock of broad-winged hawks, a black-throated green warbler & a red-breasted nuthatch), bringing the total bird count at the ABC to 184. 

Thanks to many people for making this happen:
* Aaron Stutz for leading the birding trek along the Inner Peace Trail.
* Kathy Adam for being the greeter and for cooking the burgers.
* Mike Adam for helping set up, take down and for helping on the birding excursion.
* Cole Jones of Sunshine Burgers for the burger donations, the gloves and food coupons.
* Rich Rozelle for lending us his kitchen and Donny, his most excellent staffer who mows the trails.
* Byron Freeman for mowing the field.
And for all who came to tramp, pick seed and enjoy the kringle, kombucha & burgers.  Next time we will remember to not invite the wasps.
