Hi Everyone,

On Saturday December 2, twenty-two birders walked around Lindo Lake and we found 56 bird species.
The weather was perfect — a nice cool autumn day. We saw lots of Coots, Grackles, and Black-crowned Night-Herons.

Probably the best bird of the day was the Brown Creeper. There were two of them climbing several small Willow tree trunks.  The location is on the north side of the lake, near the water edge, right in front of the market on the other side of the street.
