On an absolutely beautiful morning, a fantastic group of birdingKassie
enthusiasts gathered for an almost 3 hour hike down, up and around the
Nature Trail. Kudos to all who managed to complete one of our more
physically challenging bird walks. It was a fantastic outing. 42 species
were identified. Trail conditions were good, and the group successfully
navigated its way to the spring and back. Thank you to all who attended
this special bird walk. We collected trash along the way. More outings and
projects at the Nature Trail are anticipated this year.
Lots of past LEAS history goes with this wonderful trail. Those of you
involved in this project originally and over the years were in my thoughts
this morning. If you missed this bird walk, I hope you will join us next
time.
Thank you to everyone who came out for the adventure today!
