It was a quiet morning in the park, both number of species and birds. Our
group of seven birders worked hard to tally 41 species with several notable
absences of common birds. it was good to see a common merganser again which
been absent during the recent high water. All are welcome to join this
regular Sunday walk that meets at 8:00am in the visitors center parking lot.
