Following is the count from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls National
Park, which identified approximately 25 species and included 8 participants.
From the standpoint of sheer numbers, the Bird of the Day surprisingly was not
the Canada Goose; rather, it was our little friend the White-throated Sparrow.
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.
