It was a beautiful morning to walk through Friends of Wildwood Open Space. Mark Elliott led 28 birders through the beautifully maintained forest. This open space provides a quiet space to listen for birds and enjoy the beauty of nature. Devil’s Lake is close by and just a few steps away we were able to add to our list of birds.
