On Sunday, March 17th, six people gathered at Van Doren's Landing Park and walked  north along the Green River.  Progress was slow as one species after another made its presence known.  Weather was quite pleasant all morning. 

Highlights: We viewed a Red-tailed Hawk through the scope; skeins of Cackling Geese flying over and heading north; a Bald Eagle perched on a power tower while another was seen sitting on a nest.  We also had good views of California Scrub-Jays and Anna's Hummingbirds perching in the morning sun along with a nice view of a Tree Swallow preening on one of the GRNRA's manmade snags - this was Barbara's first sighting of the season. :-)  While watching Great Blue Herons flying to and from the rookery, we spotted an immature Cooper's Hawk circling high above and glowing in the sunlight.  We identified 30 species during the walk and even saw House Sparrows and Rock Pigeons in the store parking lot.

Barbara is travelling in April, so the next bird walk will take place on Sunday, May 5th, at Seahurst Park and Seola Pond.  Remember to meet in the store parking lot at 8:15 to form carpools so we can leave by 8:30
