Birding Trip 12/29/14




It wasn't the best day for birding as there was a dense fog early. The fog lifted by 10am but it was still rather overcast. JMM did all the photography. He hasn't downloaded them yet so I don't know if any of them turned out clear enough to post. If so, I will put them up as soon as I can. Here is the list of birds we saw:
