Old Trail

It was really windy this morning, so I hiked mostly in areas protected from strong gusts, but still managed to log 34 avian species. The highlight was seeing a migrating Osprey fishing above the golf course pond. I saw an Osprey later in the morning near the southeast corner of Old Trail, but it may have been the same bird. I also saw Red-shouldered Hawks in two locations.
