Feb 22, 2025 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM

Protocol: Traveling

7.0 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    Three hardy birders joined me on this bright but cold and windy day. 19 degress F at the start, rising to 25 at the end. Many of the usual spots which have not been frozen over in previous iterations of the trip were frozen over today, limiting waterfowl variety and counts somewhat. Thanks to the keen-sighted participants.
