Additionally, others in the group saw a Redstart.

My total was 43 birds seen, 29 of which were firsts for me. The group list was an impressive 76! Meredith had 44, because she had the White Breasted Nuthatch and Rose Breasted Grosbeak, but she didn't see the Hooded Warbler.

I definitely need to go to Magee Marsh again. I wonder if it would be good during the fall migration? If not, whatever, I can go in some future spring again...
