Howdy All! Lots of little birds showing up after the big rain. I took a quick turn around the park after morning meetings. I had my FOS Golden-crowned Kinglet and Spotted Towhee. I am going to get out earlier tomorrow morning to see what is moving. Anyone that wants to join me is perfectly welcome. I'll start a little after 8am. Just let them know at the front office and I'll come up and meet you. This Saturday, November 8, I'll be leading a morning bird walk starting at 8:15am and we'll meet at the front office to get started. Save the date! November 28 we are going to have our 7th Annual "Walk off the Bird" bird walk. It is designed to get folks away from the Black Friday insanity and help Tyler SP have a Big Day. Come on out and join us.
