Hi Good Friends,

On Saturday February 18, thirty-five really friendly birders walked
around Oak Hill Memorial Park in Escondido. The weather was excellent
and we found 43 bird species.

Lots of American Wigeons, European Starlings, and Cedar Waxwings.

I think the best bird we found was the Great Horned Owl. A pretty
reliable bird to find at this location in the past, but has moved to
roost in a different palm tree.

Many thanks to our list compiler, Steve Ellis, and to our excellent
photographers.
