Great South Bay Audubon Nature Walk 04/30/2024

 Our walk this Tuesday 04/30/2024 was at the Sisters of St. Joseph Campus in Brentwood. Fifteen folks showed participated as we walked the grounds of the facility. The campus is very environment friendly. They have waste water reclamation and solar arrays. The farm on the property is all organic, and they have planted native trees through out the property. We had 24 species of birds, we saw Goldfinches, woodpeckers, and some yellow rumped warblers. 

The highlight was as we were finishing the walk, we heard a group of crows squawking and flying into a stand of pine trees. They were mobbing an unseen threat. Eventually a great horned owl flew out of the pines and away from the crows flying right in front of the group. A great finish to a nice spring walk
