Wild Birds Unlimited Bird Walk
Grizzly Island, SF Bay Delta
Leader: Chuck Groff

The morning weather was dreary and drizzly, so we only
had 8 folks total in 5 cars. The rain held off for our walk
and it only rained hard on our way back. Unfortunately, we
couldn't go beyond the visitor center because hunting
season was extended and still open for 2 more days. But
we got a few short walks near the visitor center in and still
came up with an impressive species list.
