Following is the count from Sunday's weekly bird walk at Great Falls
National Park, which identified 38 species and included 7 participants.
Despite the windy conditions associated with the incoming cold front, quite a
few birds were moving about. Highlights included sizeable flocks of cedar
waxwings, robins, and bluebirds feeding on berries in the trees, and an
impressive murder of marauding American Crows.
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, heavy snows, or when the
trails are icy. All birders are welcome!
