Following is the count from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls National
Park, which identified approximately 33 species and included 13 participants.
Highlights included an adult Bald Eagle on the Conn Island nest; quite a few
Eastern Bluebirds near the park's main picnic and parking areas; and a couple
of Common Goldeneyes and a Canvasback upriver. Some of the ice formations along
the riverbank also were quite nice.
The walk meets in the main parking lot of Great Falls Park at 8:00 a.m. on
Sunday mornings, rain or shine; it does not take place, though, during
electrical storms, heavy snows, or when the trails are icy. All those with an
interest in the natural world - beginning and experienced birders alike -
please join us.
