Subject: Red Slough Bird Survey - Oct. 29

It started off clear, cool, and windy, turning overcast and super windy, on the bird survey today. 41 species were found. The wind made most birds hard to find except for waterfowl which were frequently being flushed up by a couple Bald Eagles. Most notable find today was a flock of immature White Ibis in Unit 15. Here is my list for today:
