Wapato Winter Birds

Published by at 11:03 pm under Field Notes,Image Galleries,Wildlife Sightings

This year’s annual Wapato Bird Walk on January 14th was attended by an amazing group of bird enthusiasts.  Although the day started out pretty dry, we were drenched by the last half mile of the loop around Virginia Lake.  We didn’t let that stop us though; stopping to admire each and every bird along the way.  Once again, I’m reminded what a jewel this property is!  I can’t wait for the next hike.
