New Year Bird Walk

Oops! I haven't posted since April! Yikes! Bad birder, Brenda!

It was one year ago when I participated in my first birding outing. What a difference a year makes! Last year, DeKorte Environmental Center was bathed in fog and there was plenty of snow on the ground. This year, temps hit 55 and I shed my coat. The walk was at the Mill Creek Marsh. Plenty of people showed up. I saw a red-tailed hawk, 2 kestrals (or the same one twice), Ruddy ducks, a great blue heron, four red-winged blackbirds, tons of mallards, some teals, a mockingbird and a few sparrows. Didn't take any pix. Just enjoyed the day, the birds and the company.
