Following is the tally from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls National
Park, which identified approximately 32 species.
"Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies . . . ."
-- Folk Song
Highlights of Sunday's walk included: 1) two juvenile yellow-billed cuckoos
who remained fairly stationary and in full view for easily 10 minutes; and 2)
flocks of cedar waxwings seemingly everywhere in the main picnic area.
The walk 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!
