Stebbins Refuge Morning Walk

The weather was cool, averaging in the low 40s, for our morning walk. A mother and daughter team joined us and we delighted in showing new birds to 3-yr old, cute as a button, Layla. We checked out the ponds along Pondside Road, getting C Geese, Mallard, Wood Duck, DC Cormorant, and long, up-close views of a stately Great Blue Heron. Then we headed to the West Road parking lot and walked the trail in well past the gas line equipment and back again. The seven of us ended the walk with 34 species.
