Ducks and raptors were the birds of the day for the Bird Walk for All People. Bunker Pond had a variety of ducks and other swimmers including Mallards, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Northern Shovelers, both Teal, Ruddy Ducks, Northern Pintail Ducks, and Pied-billed Grebes. On the trails we saw Osprey, Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks, and Northern Harriers. Large flocks of Double-crested Cormorants and Forster's Terns were moving. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg.
