The operative word was COLD today, but the lack of wind made the walk tolerable
for the 5 people present. Not much to get excited about today; there were lots
of a few species, but the lack of waterfowl diversity continues. Only one
coot! No joke! The highlight today was a pair of Winter Wrens that put on a
grand display near Dead Beaver Beach.
