Hi everyone,
Started a bird walk at the beginning of a cold front but it did not stop us
from spotting some birds. The belted and green kingfishers can still be
seen at our North Overlook. The water at South Pond is higher; however a
solitary sandpiper and 2 Long-billed Dowitchers are found there. While
leaving South Pond, a Cactus wren was spotted being chased out of a Yucca
tree. Below is this morning's bird list.
Happy Birding!!
