Howdy All! Did some scouting of the park yesterday. It seems that every time I go out there is are new migrants showing up. The dam was the best spot yesterday with an early House Wren and a first for me in this park Sedge Wren. The natural resource management here is working wonders for our bird diversity. I am going to get out again this morning to post event listing for tomorrow. Come on out and join us for our 8am bird tour. We meet at the park HQ.
