Tweeters,
The rain kept up the whole time the nine of us toured the JBLM Eagle's Pride GC but the temperature was fairly consistent (50degF-54degF). Luckily, the falling water was mostly a light sprinkle except for a few times. The waterfowl species and numbers were fairly low, except for BUFFLEHEAD (29); with the two pairs of MALLARDS and a single pair of AMERICAN WIGEON and RING-NECKED DUCK bringing up the rear. AMERICAN ROBINS (80) put in appearances almost everywhere we went with YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (9) - all Audubon's - rounding out a good day despite the moisture.
The only mammals sighted were Columbian black-tailed deer (3) and Eastern gray squirrel (1).
The JBLM Eagle's Pride GC birders meet the third Thursday of each month at 8:00AM from March-October and 9:00AM November to February. The starting point is the Driving Range building, Eagle's Pride Golf Course, I-5 Exit 116, Mounts Road Exit. (Turn left immediately after entering the parking lot to take the road leading to the driving range building.) Upcoming walks include the following:
* March 19
* April 16
* May 21
Everyone is welcome!
