Hi Peter,
Brave or crazy? Or a little of both…
I was joined today by five tough as nails birders (Jane Simmons, Monica Berger, Nina Bai, Janet Schumacher and Linda Ewing) in some pretty challenging weather. At one point it was snowing horizontally. It was a very friendly group that managed to make the most out of our difficult situation.
We started at Bush Terminal and lasted there for a little over an hour before the weather just became too much and someone mentioned pancakes. Which then brought us to our "spot of the day" Cafe Zona Sur. After a very pleasant meal and some hot coffee, Monica, Nina and I did about an hour in Prospect -- south end of the lake and the feeders. Here's our lists and a couple of photos.
