The Monticello Bird Club’s field trip to Stony Point Pass was attended by 23 enthusiastic and sharp-eyed birders on this mild fall morning. We were treated to several mixed flocks to sort through as we made our way over the mountain. Thanks to everyone for a fun morning of working together and helping everyone get on some great fall birds! Welcome to our newcomers.
