Following is the count from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls National
Park, which identified approximately 31 species and included 9 participants.
Although the morning's fog and the mist held steady throughout much of the
walk, the birds were nonetheless quite active, attracted by the remaining
grapes and poison ivy berries up in the trees.
The walk meets at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings, rain or shine, in front of the
snack bar/concession stand of the Great Falls Park visitors' center; it does
not take place, though, during electrical storms, strong winds, heavy snows, or
when the trails are icy. All birders are welcome!
