Bill Sefton Reports:
Even with temperatures in the mid-twenties and iced over puddles from heavy rain the previous day, we had 19 (maybe 20?) birders show up for this outing. The reward for those in attendance were sweet views of Belted Kingfishers, Bald Eagles, Eastern Bluebirds, both White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches, Winter Wrens, and some very energetic Golden-crowned Kinglets. But the bird of the day honors belonged 2 Trumpeter Swans that flew low over us while we birded the first big field – this is the 2nd month in a row for them! The other highlight was having two young birders on this walk – they brought their non-birder parents along since neither were old enough to drive!
