We had a comfortably warm, dry and calm day for our first Winter 2012 term outing. A couple of the memorable moments were getting especially good looks at a Red-breasted Sapsucker, Trumpeter Swans, and a very obliging Red-shouldered Hawk (as well as a coyote). I have a count of 52 species, but it feels like some of the expected birds are missing from the list. Please feel free to add to this post or email me and I'll adjust it.
