Nature Done Wright

Had a nice group for Fyke's final First Saturday walk, and the rain was nice enough to stay away.

Nine of us a 90-minute walk and tallied 19 species, including two Red-shouldered Hawks (Manfred and likely Laura), a couple of Ospreys and a Common Raven (the only surprise). (Thanks to all who participated!)

Full list follows. (There's a link to ebird.org at the end, for those on the walk who asked about it.)
