Following is the tally from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls
National Park, which identified 29 species. The walk was quieter than in
recent weeks, despite the milder temperature and low humidity. Interestingly,
no Great Crested Flycatchers were observed. Larger numbers of Canada Geese and
Cormorants, however, were sighted than has been the norm; among the geese were
some decent-sized juveniles.
The group meets on Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. in front of the snack
bar/concession stand of the Great Falls Park visitors' center. All birders are
welcome!
