From Michele Dreger :
(leading First Sunday walk from the Boathouse;Eni Falci led second walk)
I am coming down with a cold and decided to only do the 8am tour. Eni lead the 10am tour. We saw just about the same things on both tours. The feeders are now full but the birds haven't discovered it yet.
The 8am tour started off really slow. The mallards and the swans were at the boathouse waiting for us. We walked up to the lookout and had a nice time watching an adult red tailed hawk watching us. On the way back, we spotted a coopers hawk while we were looking for the great blue heron on the lullwater.
The first Sunday of January is the 3rd. The winter walk starts at 10am. Hope to see you there.
