Bird walk report -Sunnyhill Levee Trail

Date: Thursday, May 8, 2008

 

What a pleasure to get back with a serious group of birders for a nice long walk on such a beautiful day. Really enjoyed getting out with so many of you after a long hiatus.
Choice of trails proved to be advantageous as we were fortunate enough to fins an interesting variety of birds in each of the different habitats. Perhaps a "lifer" or two for some of those present...
Thanks to all who helped spot and identify. Have a great summer and Keep Looking UP! Norm
