Fourteen members met on Sunday May 13 at the Sleeping Gian entrance on Tuttle Ave and the Mill River. We carpooled down to the next trail head on Tuttle. The walk was lead by Jim Sirch, DeWitt Allen and Craig Repasz. We traveled along a brook and then entered a field. The warblers were challenging as they stayed aloft in the tops of the trees. We then hiked a bit in the deep hardwoods. Once back to the trail head we walked to a farm with a natural pool that posed an identification challenge with Greater Yellowlegs and Solitary Sandpiper.
