Chilly Morning for a Bird Ramble

February 27, 2020 Bird Ramble Priscilla, Don, Carl, Cheryl, and Lydia.

It was a cold wind out of the northwest so I chose the Amphitheater for our first stop. Smart because the birds were also getting out of the cold wind. We found 36 species. Thank you to Don for keeping the eBird list and adding the Osprey and Anhinga pictures.
