Subject: First Sunday Audubon trip report
Hey Peter,
I led the first Sunday Audubon walk today. There were 10 of us, including a couple first-timers, and although the park was relatively quiet we found a few pockets of activity on Lookout and Peninsula. The highlights were a merlin perched in a dead snag above Breeze Hill that we later found hiding in a tall oak above the Butterfly Meadow, a brown thrasher also up there, and later a gray-cheeked thrush on the Peninsula. We had 43 species in total.
Here's the list:
Canada Goose 8
Wood Duck 2
Mallard 25
Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 4
