Fourteen birders attended today's walk at Bells Bend. Although it was quite
chilly and a bit foggy to start, the weather was perfect by the time we
finished. One of the first birds we saw this morning was a Marsh Wren at the
second intersection in the paths. A little further down, we flushed a fairly
large group of House Finches, and among them was one leucistic/albino bird.
Likely the biggest surprise of the day were 20+ Pine Siskins in multiple groups
throughout the Bend. Finally, four Bald Eagles put on a fantastic display,
calling and soaring overhead. Thank you to all who participated! A checklist is
below.
