Hi:
The park was filled with the sounds of goldfinches and multiple migrants
singing to the beautiful day. Was a gorgeous day and we were treated to great
views of parula warbler, red eyed vireos, tanagers and others.
Everyone is welcome to our walk. We meet every Sunday 8 am in the visitor
center parking lot. Please join us.
