A drizzly, chilly evening for a walk but the birds didn't care. We saw a small flock of Bobolinks perched on the phragmites. There were also numerous Savannah Sparrows and lots of Palm Warblers. We saw a nice variety of ducks including Mallards, American Wigeon, Gadwall, Northern Shovelers, and both Blue- and Green-winged Teal. We ended the walk with a Black-crowned Night-heron flying over the trail. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Kathy Horn, and Deb Payson.
