A small group of regulars (none of which were park visitors) attended today's bird walk. There were a few nice sightings including a juvenile Bald Eagle and two adults. Only a few ducks on the water which was nearly white-capped by the wind. The migrant songbirds haven't come through yet as witnessed by the total lack of small birds on our list, but the swallows were all over the surface of the lake as they skimmed the air for emerging insects.
Location: Hills Creek SP
Observation date: 4/10/10
Notes: Very, very windy and quite cold. Just 35 degrees when we started with winds out of the north-northwest. Clear and sunny, however. Got all the way up to 44 by 11:30! (Felt much colder.)
