March 9,2013 Grand Vue Birding Event

Grand Vue scheduled an intro to birding session for anyone interested.  I volunteered to lead a quick basic bird identification discussion followed by hike.  We had 9 individuals show up in addition to myself and Liz from Grand Vue.  Four participants were Boy Scouts.  Warm temperatures and clear skies led to an enjoyable walk.  It was blue bird day!  I saw at least 10 different birds but the number could have been much higher. At two separate boxes birds were observed entering and exiting.  If this  is an indicator we could be looking at an outstanding year for blue birds at Grand Vue.  We are scheduled to do this again on the last Saturday of the month.  By then I'm sure we will find nesting material in most boxes.  After our walk we did a feeder watch bird count with Scott Shalaway.
