This morning local Cub Scouts joined the bird walk, taking advantage of
loaner binoculars that are available to walk participants as well as
getting their first views of birds through our spotting scope. Despite
dense fog, a nice covey of 10 Northern Bobwhite was easily visible as they
walked back and forth across and along the tram road. A Couch's Kingbird
was nice to hear near the Visitor Center.
Black-headed Grosbeak was seen frequently yesterday, but missed by the bird
walk. Nashville Warbler and Black-throated Gray Warbler are being reported
and photographed near the Visitor Center and feeders.
