PVAS sponsored a bird walk at Stauffer’s Marsh Nature Preserve this morning. There were large numbers of Whte-throated Sparrows in evidence in the trees along the road and along the drive at the northern end of the preserve. Blue Jays were also abundant. We had several Black-capped Chickadees and an American Tree Sparrow. The highlight was an Eastern Screech Owl and Red-shouldered Hawk vocalizing at the same time.
