Did you get out to see the Golden-crowned Warbler that visited in May, 2018? What an amazing opportunity to see a bird that is usually found far south of Colorado! Here are a couple of photos from Risë Foster-Bruder:

Rise with photo-001

In December, 2017, we were treated to a visit by a Red-bellied Sapsucker. The homeowners where the bird was sighted opened their property to dozens, if not hundreds, of bird viewers. In appreciation of their generosity, a photo of the bird, taken by Bill Maynard, was framed and presented to the couple by Risë Foster-Bruder.

Here are some birds that Aiken birders have been seeing. Send in your photos, too!
