Good afternoon birders,
The morning walk was delightful, with flyovers by a Gray Hawk,
Broad-wing Hawk and Anhinga. Both the Virginia Rail and Sora were visible out
at Pintail.
Bird walks continue through March, leaving the Visitor's Center daily
at 8:30 am. Hawk Watch runs through April 15, 8am - 1pm. Spotters and guests
are always welcome.
