[birding] Finley Big Sit Results

[Molly Monroe]

We had a gorgeous sunny day on Sunday for our 2nd annual Big Sit. 

52 species were counted for the day.

Bird highlights include a Black Phoebe, a Lewis' Woodpecker flyby and a perching Peregrine Falcon.

Non-birding highlights were a jackrabbit first thing in the morning and a muskrat swimming in the pond next to the circle. Just before dark, there were 98 elk in the field south of Bruce Rd just to the west of our parking spot.

Thanks to all who participated, I appreciate the turnout for such a busy time of year (and special thanks for the yummy brownies)!

Molly~
