Today's
walk started with a brightly blue/gray and reddish male American Kestrel
landing on top of the parking lot utility pole. He remained there about 15
minutes as people arrived. Seemed as curious about us as we were enthralled by
him. A great omen for our walk. We observed over 50 species this morning and
actually extended the walk by an additional 30 minutes as our sightings
continued to keep us busy.
