Today's bird walk at NB yielded great looks at some fantastic species!! --around 20 folks showed up. David Sidle and Phil Brown were in attendance, helping with spotting and IDing! Always great to have other leaders when the group is large. --great looks at a GHOW nest with young. Several beginners were present, and were hooked on the whole "birding thing."--a large flock of Cedars Waxwings kept the skies full, and settled in the end at one area to the north of the main parking area. They kept coming down to a muddy area, giving great ground level looks.--Phil located a pair of Marbled Murrelets from the overlook lot. Identifying birds from such a great distance was a bit of an entertaining discussion between some of the new-to-birding folks.--A pair of Surf Scoters came in to the beach while we were ogling a Whimbrel. Odd to see Surf Scoters walking around on the beach.--Everything seen was fairly common, but the best part was seeing the various folks come alive with new discoveries and species. Several were definitely inspired to continue birding! That's it for now. Hope to see you out there. Thanks again to David and Phil!!Paul Miller Mount Hermon
