The first Saturday Photo Walk of CMBO's Spring 2013 season was greeted with a clear sky, cool temperatures, and waterfowl. As is usual for this time of year, many of our wintering species were either gone or hard to find, yet not that many migrants or summer residents had arrived. Regardless, with the temperature above freezing, the Point's ponds were open and a nice variety of water birds were present. These included American Coot, Canada Goose, Gadwall, and Lesser Scaup. As also befits the season, the birds were a bit more active than they have been recently, allowing us a chance to practice our flight photography skills. Leaders: Mike Hannisian and Nancy Watson.
