Wednesday birders spent time standing on trails and footbridges today. The sighting we were happiest about was seeing our pal Jim Weishaupt and Webster from the footbridge at Farewell Bend Park. We started today's birding with a PEREGRINE FALCON using the snag at Reserve Camp/Shevlin Park Drive. That prominent snag gives a good view of a neighborhood with many bird feeders. Birds on the list were from one of the 3 locations except for that bird. We failed to locate the White-throated Sparrow that Tony Kutzen had on the weekend along 1st Street but we put down seeds beside the trail in several "birdy" spots. Some of us moved from birds to the brewery, seeking a bird poster and a taste of the seasonal Jubelale sporting the Barred Owl on the label. They still have posters, $2 each.
