Did a spur of the moment trip this morning. Eight birders gathered in the
cold, wind, and cloudy conditions, and had a great time. “Serious” birders
my crew are not. Why birding is good for the soul? So much laughter.
A little over a mile walk in a little over an hour produced 56ish species.
New birders joined seasoned birders and got life birds.
Best of the list included flyovers Peregrine Falcon, Ibis species, Little
Blue Heron, Caspian Tern. Any day is a great day when one gets a Pergrine.
Songbirds were very quiet because it was so windy. Harris’s, White-crowned,
Lincoln’s, Savannah, and White-Throated Sparrows were still about. Common
Yellow-throat and Yellow-rumped were the only Warblers seen.
