Horseshoe Lake Birds

February 11th, 2007

Hi Everyone,

Even though the weather did not cooperate, we did see a nice group of birds on Thursday.

One of our group saw a White-tailed Kite across the street from Wildwood Park on the way home. I hope most of you got to see the Western Bluebirds on the fence next to the Golf Course.

I was not able to compare notes with most of you Thursday so I’m not sure my list is complete.

Here is the list of birds that were sighted Thursday:

If you saw a bird not on the list, leave a comment so the rest of us can add it to our list.
