The Raptor Show would be a better name for the Hawks, Trails, and Beach Walk this afternoon. Lighthouse Pond had 3 perched Peregrine Falcons in the same tree as well as several flying overhead. Numerous Osprey were seen throughout the walk, most carrying fish. Kestrels, Merlins, Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks, and a Bald Eagle rounded out the raptors. We finished with the Clay-colored Sparrow, a young White-crowned Sparrow, and a Dark-eyed Junco at the brush pile. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, Cindy Bamford, and Chris Hajduk.
