Hello Birders,

Thanks for participating in the MVFN Bird Walk on June 19th on the 12th Concession Line, Lanark Highlands. Below is the list of species that the entire group saw or heard starting at the Union Hall. Thanks very much to Lynda Bennett, our expert bird guide for the evening, and to Cliff Bennett and Ray Fortune who led smaller groups for part of the walk. Thanks also to Ray for letting us walk through his woods so that we could find a few more species and to Howard Robinson for sharing the attached photos. Overall Lynda and I enjoyed the walk very much and were very pleased with the number of species recorded for the evening.
