Last park hikes of the spring today. Trees are leafing out, making birds
tougher to see for beginners.
I'd like to extend a nod of appreciation for a KOS Anne Stamm grant, which
allowed me to purchase more loaner binoculars. We had 42 (!!) in our group
today, by far the most ever, including 10 happily active preschoolers, out
to enjoy a fine spring day.
