Leader : Mary Eyster
Mary and 11 BBC Trip participants
April 28, 2009
Today was the first walk of the BBC Centennial Spring weekday walks. We left from Bartel Pritchard with 10 birders. Two more caught up along the way. The park wasn't as active today as on Sunday (or at least the southern part wasn't). But several of us added a few new species to our year list. With the shift in the winds and weather, Thursday's Prospect walk, leaving from GAP at 7, could be really good. I apologize for the random order of the list. My usual listing tool has crashed!
