The last bird walk of the year. That's sad to think about, except there will be another one next week! We had a great year of birds together - thanks to all the participants, both actual and virtual. And thanks to Bill Eeds for leading this last walk. He took everyone on an auto tour looking for raptors which they saw many of. Happy New Year Everyone! Make a resolution to see more birds and spend more time outside in 2014.
