Trip Notes
Today the Sitting Ducks birdathon team drew their circle in the dirt and spent four hours looking intently in every direction, across fields, fresh, and saltwater ponds and marshes. We're pleased to report that beat fifty species, with a nice look at Peregrine Falcon to end the birdathon.
