Our group of eight birders tallied 36 species. Cuckoos were found upstream
above the falls in the park.
With the streams dried up, goldfinches were seen drinking directly from the
river. The highlights were a
very cooperative great crested flycatcher and green herons along the river
bank. All are welcome to join this
Sunday walk that meets nearthe visitor center courtyard at 8:00am. -- Marshall
