Our stalwart group of four braved rain and icy patches to identify 24
species. The river was high and fast with very little activity.
Next Sunday is the Christmas Bird Count and you are encouraged to join us
at 8:00 am in the visitor's center courtyard. Participation for helpers in
the count is free and open to all, but if you wish to participate as
official field observers, there is a $5 fee.
