June Walk
June Bird Walk - Rose Lake at Dorothy Carnes Park
Back to Rose Lake area for walk, but on the eastern side of the park this time. The walk was shortened by a rain shower but not before we were able to cover much of the trail. A special treat was a series of sightings of a Northern Harrier hunting throughout the park. This bird is known to be nesting in the park.
If you couldn't be with us for this walk, we hope you can join us for one of the others in this series.
