Our group of five birders tallied 45 species. We enjoyed particularly good
looks at Y-B cuckoo and warbling vireo.
Above the falls we saw two immature eagles around the old nest. Our family of
great crested flycatchers in the picnic area
have fledged.
This Sunday walk meets at 8:00am in the vicinty of the visitors center
courtyard and all are welcome. -- Marshall Rawson,
