Glenn Coady lead a very successful birdwalk on Saturday, March 26th. With well over 40 participants, we set an attendance record for March walks. A late snowstorm days earlier gave us a more wintery walk than expected, but the warm weather earlier in the month encouraged many of the waterfowl to move further north. We often see large rafts of ducks on the March walks, but most of them had already moved on by the 26th. We found a total of 35 species:


	Pied-billed Grebe Horned Grebe Trumpeter Swan Mute Swan Canada Goose Mallard Gadwall American Widgeon Greater Scaup Long-tailed Duck White-winged Scoter Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Common Merganser Red-breasted Merganser Ruddy Duck American Kestrel Killdeer


	Ring-billed Gull Herring Gull Mourning Dove Downy Woodpecker American Crow Black-capped Chickadee American Robin Northern Mockingbird European Starling American Tree Sparrow Song Sparrow Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird House Finch American Goldfinch House Sparrow


	Here are a few photos from the walk:
