We saw a lot of 'every day' winter birds on this morning's walk. But one of our walkers was from Washington State and he helped us re-see the beauty of the Northern Cardinal and the Blue Jay, both of which are largely absent in the American West. We also had stunning looks at a Northern Gannet that was close enough to see its yellowish nape and pale blue bill. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn.
