Howdy All!

Today's bird walks were a lot of fun. We mostly saw the typical winter
visitors, but they were busy and there were a lot of them. Notables of
the day were Forster's Tern (a first for me at the park), Winter Wren,
both Kinglets, all three nuthatches, and both scaup. What made the
walks fun was the enthusiasm of the fledgling birders that went with me.
