---------------------------------------
30 species
our focus was on raptors & waterfowl
(A nice flock of Wild Turkeys was seen above Douglas Wayside on drive up.)
Others in the group may have seen additional species, but these are
the ones mentioned at the time.
See Wallace's post for participants & list of mammals observed.
Another good BBC outing to Burke's Garden.
See you on the next one!
