The first outing of the Bird Focus group was September 7, 2024 at Alix Lake Nature Trail. Chris had 9 birders along, reporting 30 species, on a very warm first day back after the summer break. Notables included a pair of White-faced Ibis, a wondering Turkey Vulture, and some migrant sparrows and warblers. All together, a good start to the fall schedule!
