Following is the tally from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls National
Park, which identified 38 species. Worthy of particular note were the number
of juvenile birds observed, particularly among the Great Crested Flycatchers
and the Red-Eyed Vireos. Also sighted: a crayfish (sp. unknown, winter
plumage?!) ambling along the woodland trail.
A REMINDER: The group meets on Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. but, effective
Sunday July 2, has started to kick off the walk in front of the snack
bar/concession stand of the Great Falls Park visitors' center (instead of in
the parking lot). All birders are welcome!
