We had a bracing walk on Sunday, highlighted by a few good looks at Northern Harriers and a couple of Brown Creepers.
In all we had just over two dozen species on the walk, which featured Transco Trail and Disposal Road.
It wasn't terribly cold — just windier and colder than the weather folks had predicted. Anyone who went down to the Kearny Marsh after the walk was treated to views of the Common Moorhen. (Thanks, Mike G!)
Full list follows. (Thansk, Denise!)
