It looks and sounds like summer at the State Park. Purple Martins are calling and swooping. Young, spot- breasted American Robins are begging the adults for food, and Field Sparrows are sitting up singing again, as if between broods. Flocks of Yellowlegs and White Ibis flew overhead along with a few Osprey.
