We couldn't have picked a finer day to have the Bristol Bird Club's Burke's
Garden field trip. It was short sleeve weather, birds were singing and
spirits were high. Fourteen participants turned out for the event.

We saw 3 Rough-legged Hawks, (2 light morphs and 1 dark morph). Everyone had
good looks. We didn't see any Golden Eagles. Wallace Coffey suggests that is
due to the reduced number of sheep in the valley.

Other interesting birds for the day included

Green-winged Teals            Cooper's Hawk
American Kestrel                Common Snipes
Horned Larks                     Common Ravens
American Pipits                    Savannah Sparrow
