The Tiadaghton Audubon Society has been providing volunteers to lead bird walks at Hills Creek State Park every Saturday morning. A few months ago they asked for volunteers and I raised my hand. Today was to be my day. Gary, another Tiadaghton member and leader of our midweek walks, happens to live very near the park and has been doing most of the walks. He showed up today and I let him take over. There were three people who joined Gary, Terry, me and the Park Naturalist on our walk along the east shore of Hills Creek Lake. Gary kept the official list of what we saw but here is my compliation.
