9 people participated in the HAS Bird Walk at Addison Bog and Woodlands with most birders new to this location. It was a beautiful sunny morning, 65 deg F warming to 75 deg F, with light winds. The walk strolled by salmon brook, obtained views of power line cuts, meandered through the woods on paved path and side trails.
