Saturday Bird Walk − Bird Count − January 14, 2017
Chilly.  11 participants.

This morning was one of those rare occasions when I was not on the walk.  However, my highly trained team of regulars headed out on a walk as usual. Thanks to all who attended the walk and for sending in checklists and images. See you next week.

Bird of the Day
Tunra Swan −
Cygnus columbianus
  
 
 
 
 
 
Three tundra swans, two adults and an immature, have been hanging around Cottonwood Marsh at Walden Ponds and the crew got to see them this morning. It is always impressive when you see these large waterfowl amongst seemingly large geese and even smaller ducks. Magnificent.
