Saturday, January 17, 2015 Bird Walk
We travelled east this morning trying to avoid the wind. We were relatively successful which is always good because really windy conditions are not good for bird watching. Both the birds and the observers want to hide when it is really windy out. Look for increased raptor nesting activity and good waterfowl numbers in the coming month.
