Nightfall at Jake's Landing - Sunday, February 21st, 2016

Highlights of our first Jake’s Landing walk were a perched Great Horned Owl and the woodcocks that were displaying in the upland portion. Spotty rain kept many of the raptors perched, but we had great views of Red-tailed Hawks and Bald Eagles. Leaders: Chris Marks, Bert Hixon, & Mary Watkins.
