Good afternoon birders!
What a beautiful morning for a bird walk. Joining us today was a
7-year-old with her own binoculars, along with her mom. This little one was
our spotter, finding some wonderful birds and keeping us all on our toes.
Another new birder found a Harris's Hawk for the first time. What fun on these
walks. Walks leave the Visitor's Center daily at 8:30 am.
Note: The walk this Thursday, February 16, will be shortened to 2
hours, starting at 8:30, but finished by 10:30 am.
