Nightfall at Corbin City - Sunday, March 21 2010

Dave Lord et. al. report:

"The final 'Nightfall at Corbin City' went swimmingly on this fine Sunday evening. A mass of piping and quacking Green-Winged Teals was enjoyed by all, as was the pair of Blue-Winged Teal mixed in. A close fourth year Bald Eagle and a distant mature Bald Eagle gave us our daily quota of Eagles, and Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Red Bats were also seen. One of the true highlights would have to be the deafening cacophany of frogs calling toward the end of the dikes, as the Wood Frog, Spring Peepers and Chorus Frogs bid goodbye to the Corbin City walks. Karen Johnson, Janet Crawford, BJ Pinnock, and Dave Lord led."
