Today's riverwalk bird count was a great success. In Four hours, four birders counted Sixty-three species Highlights of the day were Caspian Turns, Seven Sparrow species, Six Different warblers and Clyde saw a Cattle Egret at the end of the day. Special thanks to Clyde for bringing his ears, and Gayle and Bill, new to this area, but not new to birding for braving the rain.
