“The following eBird report is a list of the species seen on the Saturday, April 7, 2018, walk for the Bird Patrol led Bird Walk at Lakes Park. Thank you to all of you who participated. A big thank you to Meg Rousher for entering all of the data, in addition to giving her time and expertise on the walk.

Highlights include the large number of migrating Cedar Waxwings, also, the Limpkin that was spotted near the area around the trailer park.

Please join us next month on Saturday, May 5, at 8 AM, Shelter A7, at Lakes Regional Park. Birders Extraordinaire Charlie Ewell and Walt Winton will be conducting that tour.”
