Hello All
I birded just a little bit on the Foothills Trail this morning. It was
blustery and chilly, but the birds were very active. Highlights included 1
Hammond's Flycatcher, 40 American Pipits, 1 Merlin, and 172 Turkey Vultures.

The Turkey Vultures were all moving down Prairie Ridge from north to south
between 10:15 and 11:15am. Many of them landed in the cottonwoods along
South Prairie Creek, and may have gone down to feed on salmon carcasses,
before all picking up again and continuing south.

Cheers,
