WBU Birdwalk
McNabney Marsh and Mt. View Sanitation Ponds
Leader: Chuck Groff
The weather started out cool and breezy, but warmed up
quickly and was nice and comfortable the rest of the walk.
Like last year, the large flocks of waterfowl we saw in
earlier years were absent and those we did see were in small
groups scattered here and there. Also like last year, we were
treated to a Red-shouldered Hawk who perched 10-15 feet
above the trail in front of us for quite a while. As we
approached, he moved until we passed, then returned to his
perch.
We also had good views of a Green Heron hunting along
the water line, a Black-crowned Night-Heron that we
surprised into a short flight, and a single American Pelican
that came in and landed in the reeds.
