Our group of seven birders tallied 40 species. Highlights included a barred
owl near the restrooms, green heron above the falls, and
three red-shouldered hawks soaring together over the dam. Swifts and swallows
continue to be in short supply. The cuckoos were
readily visible in a number of spots.
All are welcome to join this regular Sunday walk which meets at 8 am in the
vicinity of the visitors center courtyard. -- Marshall
