June 14, 2025 Ona Beach & Brian Booth State Park

Liz-Laver-Holencik led 23 birders through Ona Beach State Park. The open area has many swallow boxes and we were able to observe lots of activity. The area was filled with bird song and Liz was able to identify the birds with its song. We traveled across the road to Brian Booth State Park where everyone enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.
