Folks,

Our friend Matt Clark is at it again. Check out his latest Bear Creek video. Hang in there for the kestrel show:

Bear Creek walks continue through April -- every Sunday at 9. The May schedule has not been decided yet, but once the breeding birds (Savannah Sparrows, Bobolinks, etc) are on territory in mid-May, we will discontinue the walk and not resume until late summer.

Below is the ebird checklist, courtesy of Brendan Burke, from the walk last Sunday, 4/14:
